The respondent father brought a motion for contempt against the applicant mother for failing to return their two children to Ontario from British Columbia following her March Break access.
The mother claimed she withheld the children due to COVID-19 travel risks and the child's asthma.
The court found the mother intentionally breached a clear court order, noting she had unilaterally decided to keep the children despite no evidence of travel restrictions preventing their return.
The mother was found in contempt, and the court ordered temporary adjustments to the parenting schedule to facilitate the children's return and make-up time.
