The applicant mother sought a final order permitting her to permanently relocate with the parties' three young children from Renfrew to Powassan, Ontario.
The respondent father opposed the relocation, arguing that the children should remain in Renfrew where they could continue a shared parenting arrangement.
The court analyzed the best interests of the children under the Divorce Act, emphasizing the mother's need for emotional and financial support from her family in Powassan.
Ultimately, the court granted the relocation, finding it to be in the children's best interests, while establishing a parenting schedule that preserves the father's meaningful relationship with the children.
