In what circumstances will the court grant sole custody to the mother of the children?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tovell v. Jamieson, 2017 ONSC 5079 (CanLII):
In Kritharis v. Kritharis, Edwards J., granted sole custody to the mother for similar reasons. He stated: The grant of sole custody to the mother is not made to encourage her to dominate the relationship which the parties must develop to manage their child care responsibilities. It is made to ensure that the father does not dominate it. I cannot over-emphasize that mutual respect and co-operation, with neither party seeking to dominate, is the only way the parties can eliminate their animosity and thereby ensure that the children’s best interests are met.[15] [Emphasis added]
