What is the burden of proving that a parent should be denied access?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from a caselaw decision:
In Studley v. O’Laughlin (2000), 188 N.S.R. (2d) 133 (S.C.F.D.) Campbell J. stated: While the burden of proving that access to a parent should be denied rests with the parent who asserts that position, it is not necessary to prove that access by a parent would be harmful to the children. The extent of the burden is to prove that the best interests of the children would be met by making such an order.
