Family Law - Topic 2004
Access to children - Grounds for refusal of access - A putative father applied for an order of access to his two very young children - The children's ages were such that if an access order was granted there would have to be communication between the parents - The level of hostility was so high that satisfactory dialogue between the parents was improbable - The Alberta Family Court considering the best interest of the children denied the order of access - The court stated that visitation could only cause further disruption in the lives of the children - See paragraphs 12, 15 and 25.
