Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jackman v. De Santis, 2015 ONCJ 486 (CanLII):
[253] Regarding the maximum contact with each parent principal, “The ‘maximum contact’ principle, as it has been called, is mandatory, but not absolute. The Act only obliges the judge to respect it to the extent that such contact is consistent with the child's best interests; if other factors show that it would not be in the child's best interests, the court can and should restrict contact”: [citation omitted] (Gordon v. Goertz, paragraph 24).
