The respondent (mother) brought a motion seeking temporary and permanent leave to relocate with the children from the Region of Waterloo to the City of Oakville in the Region of Halton, and to change their school.
The applicant (father) brought a cross-motion to dismiss the relocation request and sought expanded access.
The court granted the respondent's motion for relocation, finding it to be in the children's best interests, considering the mother's role as primary caregiver, her support network in Oakville, and the minimal impact on the father's access.
The court also adjusted the parenting schedule, increasing the father's access time on alternate weekends.
