Is a non-custodial parent of a child entitled to regular access?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from B.C. v. M.T., 2019 ONCJ 33 (CanLII):
[18] There is a presumption that regular access by a non-custodial parent 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).
