The applicant father brought a motion seeking the return of the children to Ottawa and unsupervised access.
The respondent mother opposed, requesting the children remain with her in Niagara and that the father's access be supervised due to his mental health issues.
The court ordered the mother to return the children to the matrimonial home in Ottawa, granted her exclusive possession, and allowed the father unsupervised access three times a week.
The mother was permitted to travel with the children to Niagara one week per month, during which the father could exercise access in Niagara.
The court found no compelling reasons for relocation and no evidence warranting supervised access.
