The parties brought competing motions to change a 2019 consent order that provided for shared care and joint decision-making of their five-year-old child.
The mother had relocated to Woodville and sought primary care and sole decision-making, citing a history of family violence, criminal charges against the father, and a complete breakdown in communication.
The father sought an order forcing the mother to return to Barrie to resume the shared parenting arrangement.
The court found a material change in circumstances, noting the father's abusive conduct and the unworkable communication dynamic.
The court granted the mother sole decision-making and primary residence in Woodville, and ordered the father to pay child support based on an imputed income.
