How has the court considered prior to and at the time of trial whether a custody agreement was in the best interests of the children?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hubley v. MacRae, 2011 NSCA 25 (CanLII):
These statements do not support the father’s argument. Rather, they simply indicate that the judge considered, among other factors, the custody arrangements that were in place prior to and at the time of trial in reaching his conclusion as to which custody arrangement was in the best interests of the children. Paragraph 49 of Gordon v. Goertz, 1996 CanLII 191 (SCC), [1996] 2 S.C.R. 27, indicates this is a relevant factor for a judge to consider.
