What are the consequences of breaches of a court order for joint custody of a child?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Marshall v Walsh, 2011 NSSC 388 (CanLII):
After much consideration and a review of the testimony, exhibits and opinion evidence, I find variations must be made to the order. The second tier in Gordon v. Goertz does not count the number of breaches of a court order; but rather what is the best interests of the child. I find the best interests of Lauren is that the order remain unaltered in relation to joint custody and the schedule set in the 2006 order. However, variations to the manner of communication and to the relationship between the parents is clearly required.
