What is the test for setting off a child with a parent who has each child more than 40% of the time?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from IPC v. MCL, 2013 BCPC 64 (CanLII):

In my view, under Guidelines s. 9 and having regard to the principles in the case of Contino v. Leonelli-Contino, 2005 SCC 63 (CanLII) it would be fair to use the straight set-off approach as each parent has each child more than 40 percent of the time.
