Question

Since Marie is already an adult and will likely have her own life, the parent who is more likely to have a positive relationship with her is Carol. On the other hand, the younger child, Gord, will still need parental support and guidance, so the parent who is more present and involved in his life is likely to have a stronger positive relationship with him. Therefore, Carol and Gord are the best choice for the strongest positive relationship after the divorce.
