The respondent father brought a motion for interim primary residence of the parties' child, seeking to relocate the child to Ottawa.
The applicant mother brought a cross-motion for interim primary residence and child support.
The court found that the status quo was that the child resided primarily with the mother.
The court held that a temporary order should not disrupt the status quo without compelling reasons, and that the father's proposed move to Ottawa was untested and would be a significant disruption to the child.
The court ordered that the child reside primarily with the mother, with the father having access three weekends per month and bi-weekly evenings.
The father was ordered to pay child support.
The father was awarded costs of $7,500 as he was the successful party based on his offer to settle.
