What is the impact of a motion for interim sole custody of a child by one parent?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Drori v Martins, 2017 ONSC 1713 (CanLII):
In Reeves v. Reeves, 2001 Carswell Ont 277 both parents brought motions for interim sole custody of their children. Mossip J. observed the following (at para. 38): …Based on a significant number of studies and case law in this area, any support or encouragement by one parent that the children not have a relationship with the other parent simply demonstrates the irresponsibility of the parent who has the children and demonstrates that parent’s inability to act in the best interests of their children… A healthy relationship with both parents is a health and safety issue that good parents ensure takes place.” (emphasis added)
