The moving party sought orders relating to jurisdiction, setting aside a prior order, and directing child protection agencies and the Office of the Children’s Lawyer to investigate issues concerning the custody of a minor child.
The court determined that Ontario had jurisdiction over the child because Ontario was the child’s place of ordinary residence when the enforcement process for an existing custody order commenced.
A prior order permitting the child’s registration in school in another province was set aside because it had been made without notice and without a motion before the court.
The court requested investigative reports from two child protection agencies regarding the child’s care and best interests before determining whether further involvement from the Office of the Children’s Lawyer was necessary.
