When will the court order that Kelsey be excluded from the family home?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dasko v Dasko, 2013 SKQB 444 (CanLII):
In arriving at this decision, I have not ignored the fact that Kelsey is 16 years old, nor have I ignored the evidence, such as it is, which suggests she would refuse to reside with the mother if the respondent was excluded from the family home. Making orders of this nature pertaining to 16 year old children is always problematic. This is evident in decisions of this court, such as Shillington v. Shillington, 2007 SKQB 168, 295 Sask. R. 1. Nevertheless, where one parent has undermined the parenting authority of the other, principally for the purposes of gaining a teenage child’s affection and loyalty, it is not inappropriate for a court to intervene when the best interests of that child requires it.
