What is the mother’s position on the issue of the duration of access and the quality of her relationship with the child?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Moniz v. Cabral, 2010 ONSC 4912 (CanLII):
The mother’s position on this issue is set out as follows at paragraph 29 of her factum: 29. The courts also considered that a change in residence of a child will generally require a restructuring of access. It is possible to arrange for less frequent but longer periods. “Indeed, studies reveal that the quality of the non-custodial parent’s relationship with the child is not tied to the duration or frequency of visits.” There are telephones and other technological devices which will facilitate more contact other than personal visits. Gordon v. Goetz 1996 CanLII 191 (SCC), [1996] 2 S.C.R. 27
