What is the test for maximum contact between the parents?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from I.S. v. J.W., 2021 ONSC 1194 (CanLII):

It is generally accepted that children should have as much contact with each parent as is consistent with the child’s best interests. The ultimate goal of the court should be to establish, maintain and promote relationships which are of significance and support to children: Young v. Young, 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), [1993] 4 S.C.R. 3. While ‘maximum contact’ is not explicitly referenced under the provincial legislation in Ontario, it is clear that this is an important consideration in crafting a parenting schedule which best meets the interests of a child.
