What is the test for sole custody of a child?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Trajan v. Trajan, 1998 CanLII 3250 (BC SC):
Sole custody clothes the custodial parent with sole parental control over, and ultimate responsibility for, the care, upbringing and education of the child generally to the exclusion of the right of the other parent to influence the decisions made by the custodial parent. See Young v. Young (1993), 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), 49 R.F.L. (3d) 117 at 177 to 178. That reduces the role of the non-custodial parent to that of a loving but interested bystander, whose limited powers to make decisions are in an emergency while he has access.
