Ms. Jacqueline Iafrate

The applicant mother sought permission to relocate with her two daughters from Ontario to Corner Brook, Newfoundland.

The respondent father opposed the relocation, citing concerns about maintaining his relationship with the children and the impact on his mental health.

The court granted the relocation, finding that the mother's choice of venue was reasonable and that there were ample opportunities for the father to maintain a relationship with the children despite the geographic distance.

The judgment addresses issues of custody, access, and mobility in the context of parental separation.
