What is the test for establishing that a judge erred in treating the mother as the primary residence or custodial parent?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Hayun v. Hayun, 2022 BCCA 34 (CanLII):

The father submits that the judge erred in treating the mother as the primary residence, or custodial parent, and treating her best interests as synonymous with the child’s. The father relies on the case of Stav v. Stav, 2012 BCCA 154 at para. 59, where it was found that these errors were made by the trial judge.
