What is the test for a father to have access to his children in Australia?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Philips v. Khalid, 2019 ONCJ 602 (CanLII):

While the father’s concern that the proposed move to Australia would be too disruptive for the children, is a sincerely held belief, the court finds that this disruption, while a consideration, does not outweigh all the other considerations required by Gordon v. Goertz, supra. A full weighing of all those considerations leads the court to conclude that the proposed move to Australia is in the best interests of the children. 4: Issue # 2 – The Father’s Access
