The respondent husband brought a motion to transfer a family law application for spousal support and equalization from Kingston to North Bay.
The applicant wife had properly commenced the application in Kingston, where she resided.
The court applied the test for transferring venue, requiring the moving party to demonstrate that the proposed venue is substantially better.
The court found that the husband's reasons, including his business location, family property, and childcare responsibilities, did not outweigh the significant difficulty a transfer would pose for the wife.
The motion was dismissed.
