The Mother sought to relocate the Son from Sault Ste.
Marie to the Barrie/Parry Sound area, citing better support networks and employment opportunities.
The Father opposed the relocation, emphasizing the Son's stable life and strong bonds with him and the paternal grandparents in Sault Ste.
Marie.
The court dismissed the Mother's application, finding that while her proposed plan was reasonable, the benefits of relocation did not outweigh the significant detriment of severing the Son's existing strong emotional ties with his Father and paternal grandparents.
The decision underscored that maintaining maximum parental contact and emotional stability was in the child's best interests.
