What is the impact of a parent’s opinion on the quality of their child's care-giving environment?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from H.A. v. M.M., 2016 ONCJ 246 (CanLII):

[71] The views of the custodial parent are to be given serious consideration. It is an error to not give sufficient regard to the “relationship between the quality of the custodial parent’s emotional, psychological, social and economic well-being and the quality of the child’s primary care-giving environment” See: Bjornson v. Creighton, [2007] O.J. No. 4107 (OCA).
