I came across a very nice quote made by
Madame Justice Trussler in
Tremblay v. Tremblay
Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, Judgment: September 1, 1987
Docket: Edmonton No. 4803 61390
" I start with the premise that a parent has the right to see his or her children and is only to be deprived of that right if he or she has abused or neglected the children. Likewise, and more important, a child has a right to the love, care and guidance of a parent. To be denied that right by the other parent without sufficient justification, such as abuse or neglect, is, in itself, a form of child abuse."
