Does a s.30 assessment need to be ordered in a custody, access and parenting matter?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hauber v. Sussman, 2019 ONSC 6369 (CanLII):
The factual context of this dispute reveals the type of conflict that is typical in a custody, access and parenting dispute. Courts frequently decide these types of cases without a s. 30 assessment. In a case like this where the court can reasonably decide the issues without an assessment, the assessment should not be ordered (Baillie v. Baillie, 2012 ONSC 3728 at para. 38).
