The mother brought a motion to change a final consent order, seeking sole custody of the parties' two children who have autism spectrum disorder.
The court found that the father's unilateral decision to move residences and change the children's schools constituted a material change in circumstances.
However, applying the best interests of the child test, the court dismissed the mother's motion for sole custody, finding the father offered greater stability and was more likely to maximize contact.
The court ordered shared care on consent but maintained the father's sole decision-making authority.
