What is the test for having a daughter who has severed all contact with her father for 9 years?

This case is somewhat similar to the case of Marsland v. Gibb 2000 BCSC 471 (Romilly, J.). In that case, a daughter (who was 20 years of age at the time of the application) had cut off all contact with her father for nine years (since age 11). The father had made continued efforts to communicate with his daughter and to develop a relationship with her. The daughter had made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with her father, but there was no evidence to explain why she took this drastic position (which was described by Romilly J. as a “complete rejection” of her father). Mr. Justice Romilly held that the daughter had ceased to be a child of the marriage.
