Is a custodial parent entitled to restrict access parent's activities with the child?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kagan v. Kagan, 2010 ONSC 5965 (CanLII):

A custodial parent is not entitled to restrict an access parent’s activities with a child simply because he/she disapproves of the access parent’s lifestyle or values. Rather, a custodial parent must prove that a child cannot deal with the disparate values presented or that the parenting conflict threatens to undermine the custodial parent’s relationship with the child: see Young v. Young, supra.
