What is the purpose of access and what are the terms and conditions for access?

New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from K.B. v. M.A., 2019 NBQB 90 (CanLII):

The purpose of access informs what if any terms and conditions should go along with access: As the ultimate goal of access is the continuation of a relationship which is of significance and support to the child, access must be crafted to preserve and promote that which is healthy and helpful in that relationship so that it may survive to achieve its purpose. Accordingly, it is in the interests of the child, and arguably also in the interests of the access parent, to remove or mitigate the sources of ongoing conflict which threaten to damage or prevent the continuation of a meaningful relationship. (Young v. Young, supra, at para. 61)
