The applicant mother brought a motion to change a final custody and access order made by Justice Cohen in 2016, seeking to expand her access to include Monday evenings for Hebrew school.
The respondent father opposed the motion, arguing there was no material change in circumstances.
The court found a material change in circumstances regarding the father's willingness to accommodate the child's Jewish identity and heritage, as he had unilaterally withdrawn consent for Hebrew school attendance after approximately two years of voluntary agreement.
The court granted a temporary order permitting the mother to continue taking the child to Hebrew school on Monday evenings pending a full investigation by the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
