What is the impact of a mother's efforts to alienate her ex-partner from his daughter?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Sharp v. Potvin, 2014 ONSC 5389 (CanLII):

The Respondent has presented case law and argues that the absence of a relationship between he and his daughter is the result of the mother’s successful efforts over the years to alienate his daughter from him. As stated in Montemurro v. Shavalier (2003), 42 R.F.L. (5th) 430, 2003 CanLII 1976 (ONSC), the breakdown of this relationship is not determinative of support but rather is a factor in the mix of considerations in the process of drawing a line as to whether or not the obligation of support should cease.
