What are the best interests of the child in the care of the mother in Winnipeg and London?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Zorab v. Zourob, 2021 ONSC 6552 (CanLII):
In summary, when considering what will be gained and lost by the child, the best interests of the child are better met by her being in the care of the mother in Winnipeg than remaining in the father’s care in London. In other words, I find that the child’s needs are more likely to be best served by her returning to the mother’s care and this consideration offsets the reduction in contact with the father that will as a result occur: see Gordon v. Goertz, 1996 CanLII 191 (SCC), [1996] 2 S.C.R. 27, at para. 25.
