Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Beckwith v. Beckwith et al, 2019 ONSC 6470 (CanLII):

Elements of a positive relationship have been summarized as: a strong loving tie between the child and grandparent; the relationship must be constructive in the sense it is worth preserving but if relationships are too poisoned the relationship may not be capable for preserving: the child’s age and the last time the child saw the grandparents. Torabi v. Patterson, 2016 ONCJ 210.
