The father brought an urgent motion to restrain the mother from relocating with their eight-year-old child from Toronto to Kemptville.
The mother brought a cross-motion to permit the relocation so the child could attend a specialized reading intervention program.
The court found that the child had significant reading challenges and that the mother's proposed educational plan constituted compelling circumstances to allow the move on an interim basis.
The father's motion was dismissed, and the mother's cross-motion was granted, permitting the relocation for the 2020-2021 school year pending a final determination at trial.
The father was awarded extended parenting time to compensate for the geographical distance.
