What is the impact of a long-standing parental dispute on a child?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from K.U.B. v. L.M.M., 2014 BCSC 2006 (CanLII):
As noted in Young v. Young, 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), [1993] 4 S.C.R. 3, at para. 138: As a practical matter, the unending litigation occasioned by disputes over parental authority exacts a financial cost that few custodial parents can bear. It is no secret that the vast majority of such parents are women. … -- and further -- The cost of ongoing litigation can only exacerbate this decline by diverting whatever scarce resources exist away from day-to-day needs of the remaining family.
