What is the test for a parent to make an offer to settle their child's custody matter?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from J.C.M. v. K.C.M., 2016 ONCJ 551 (CanLII):
[42] Once the father made his offer to settle, the mother had the opportunity of resolving the case by making a counter-offer that excluded the custody term. This would have likely led to a resolution of the case. Instead, the mother did not make an offer to settle. The failure to make an offer to settle is unreasonable behaviour. See: Laing v. Mahmoud, 2011 ONSC 6737.
