When will the court order that the child remain primarily with the father?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from W. D. v. L. C., 2004 SKQB 10 (CanLII):

In considering the factors as set out in s. 8 (a) (i) to (vi) and the “need to maintain stability” for the child as commented on by Jackson J.A. in Haider v. Malach (supra) I am satisfied that it is in the best interest of the child that he remain primarily residing with the father. It is necessary then to provide L. the opportunity to have significant access to the child. However, the evidence discloses to me that L. does not make the access exchange a priority in her life. L. appears to only exchange the child when it suits her. She pays minimal attention to court orders. This type of activity must cease in the interest of the child. The child needs to know who is caring for him and when.
