What is the difference between an inability to communicate and unwillingness to communicate?

The parents seem unable to put aside their differences and see the need to communicate for their child’s best interests. It is hoped that a final resolution of the parenting arrangement will help with the communication issues. The text messages and emails exchanged by the parents have been put in evidence in this hearing and the interim hearing. This does not help with communication or trust between the parents. When the couple first separated they were able to cooperate and communicate effectively. In Godfrey-Smith v. Godfrey-Smith (1997), 165 N.S.R., 245 (NSSC) there is a discussion about the difference between the inability to communicate and unwillingness to communicate. In this case, the parents have shown that they can communicate although they have had problems recently. The recent problem seems to be an unwillingness to effectively communicate pending the court hearing.
