The father appealed a trial judgment regarding child support arrears and custody, while the mother cross-appealed a condition requiring her to relocate to Ottawa to retain custody.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the father's appeal, upholding the reduction in support arrears and the award of custody to the mother.
The Court allowed the mother's cross-appeal, striking down the condition that she return to Ottawa, finding that uprooting the children from their established environment in Stoney Creek was not in their best interests.
