What is the test for parenting time between the parents of a child and a non-custodial parent?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Schmidt v. Amy, 2021 ONCJ 523 (CanLII):
[42] There is a presumption that regular parenting time by both parents is in the best interests of children. The right of a child to visit with a non-custodial parent and to know and maintain or form an attachment to the non-custodial parent is a fundamental right and should only be forfeited in the most extreme and unusual circumstances. Jafari v. Dadar, [1996] N.B.J. No. 38 (NBQB).
