The parties separated in 2016 and have one child.
The respondent mother moved to British Columbia in 2020, leaving the child in the primary care of the applicant father in Toronto.
The respondent sought to relocate the child to British Columbia, while the applicant sought an order that the child remain in Toronto with him.
The court applied the relocation provisions of the Children's Law Reform Act and found that it was in the child's best interest to remain in Toronto, given the child's need for stability, the applicant's ability to meet her needs, and the respondent's history of unilateral decision-making and non-compliance with court orders.
The applicant was granted final decision-making authority, and the respondent was granted specified parenting time.
