What factors must be considered in assessing the best interests of the child of a primary caregiver?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from T.A.M. v. L.P.L., 2006 SKQB 285 (CanLII):
Factors such as physical and economic well being, emotional, psychological, intellectual and moral well being must be considered in assessing the best interests of the child. These factors must be considered in relation to the quality of the child’s relationship with both parents and with the desirability of maintaining the child’s maximum contact with each parent. Consideration must be given to the particular role and emotional bonding the child enjoys with his or her primary caregiver and the preservation of the child’s relationship with his or her psychological parent. See Gordon v. Goertz, supra.
