What is the impact of a child’s opinion on a parenting plan?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from T.L.B.L. v. T.E.M., 2021 ONSC 8235 (CanLII):
The child’s views and preferences are a factor in the best interests analysis. Their views, particularly those of older children deserve significant weight as, in part, the decision requires the co-operation of the child. See: Kaplanis, supra; and Maltina v. Maltina, 2018 ONCA 641. As stated earlier, children have the right to be heard in all cases affecting them. (iii) Parenting Plans - Positions
