Is the mother of the children entitled to the same amount of time as the primary parent?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Choudry v. Cater, 2018 ONCJ 238 (CanLII):

I find that the mother is and has always been the children’s primary parent. In accordance with Gordon v. Goertz, the mother’s views are entitled to great respect and the most serious consideration. Likewise, her views about where she wants to live and work are also entitled to respect.
