the legal standpoint is clearly stated
i think this is exactly what you need ... the three questions they base decisions on is very clear
The decision used by the courts reflects the Chapman vs Chapman case where the "parental autonomy" and the "pro-contact" approach is used in all decisions. The principles in the Chapman case say that the courts should generally defer to a parent's decisions about grandparent access unless all three following questions are answered in the affirmative.
Does a positive grandparent-grandchild relationship already exist?
Has the parent's decision imperiled the positive grandparent-grandchild relationship?
Has the parent acted arbitrarily?
