When will the court order access to the children of a person who is not a parent?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa v. C.R., 2019 ONSC 5411 (CanLII):
The court must also consider whether ordered access will impair the children’s future opportunities for adoption. The case law has recognized that persons who hold certain attributes may be more likely to impair a child’s opportunities for adoption, as these attributes might dissuade adoptive applicants from coming forward to adopt the child when a parent holds a right of access (Children’s Aid Society of Toronto v. A.F., 2015 ONCJ 678).
