The respondent father brought motions to find the applicant mother in contempt of court for breaching a temporary order prohibiting her from moving the children out of Simcoe County, and to restrain her from moving to Niagara Falls pending a motion to change.
The court found the mother in contempt for wilfully disobeying the order, but imposed no penalty as she had purged her contempt by returning the children.
The court dismissed the motion to restrain the move, finding that the mother's relocation to Niagara Falls was in the best interests of the children due to safety, housing, and family support factors.
