The parties resolved all corollary issues for divorce except primary residence and decision-making responsibilities for their eight-year-old daughter.
The applicant mother sought to move the child's primary residence to Ancaster to live with her new partner, while the respondent father sought to keep the child's primary residence in St. Catharines where she had grown up.
The court ordered joint decision-making, finding the parents had a history of co-parenting despite their conflict.
The court ordered the child's primary residence to remain in St. Catharines with the father, finding that the move to Ancaster would cause significant disruption to the child's life and that the mother's negative behaviour towards the father raised concerns about her ability to facilitate maximum contact.
