What are the factors that Robertson J. considered in her reasons for a separation?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Watt v. Howe, 2017 ONSC 5556 (CanLII):
Even if not canvassed like a checklist, it is evident from her reasons that Robertson J. did correctly identify the factors that she was required to consider, and reviewed them thoroughly. She did not need to specifically avert to each of the factors. It was enough that her reasons show she was aware of the variety of concerns enumerated in Gordon v. Goertz. Even if she lumped them together, and concluded that most if not all of those factors were neutral as between the mother’s and father’s parenting plans, apart from travel time in relation to the proposed move to Ottawa, which she specifically and directly focused on in her reasons, this was adequate for the purposes of sufficiency of her reasons.
