The applicant father brought a motion to change a final parenting order regarding the child's involvement in tennis.
The existing order, made on consent in April 2024, limited the child to two tennis training sessions per week and a maximum of 12 tournaments annually.
The father sought to vary these provisions to allow the child to attend all training, matches, qualifications, and tournaments required to maintain her place on Team Ontario and potentially Team Canada.
The respondent mother opposed the motion, arguing there was no material change in circumstances.
The court found that the father failed to meet the threshold requirement of demonstrating a material change in circumstances affecting the child.
The court noted that the child's progression in tennis was contemplated at the time the existing order was made, and the father's claims were substantially similar to those raised prior to the original order.
The court also found that the father had not complied with the existing order and had provided misleading information to the court.
