The mother sought to relocate with the parties' 8-year-old child to North Bay, which the father opposed.
The mother also sought sole decision-making responsibility, while the father sought joint decision-making.
Following a 7-day trial, the court dismissed the mother's request to relocate the child, finding it was not in the child's best interests to move away from his father and extended family in the Kitchener-Waterloo region.
The court ordered joint decision-making responsibility, finding the parties had a history of effective communication prior to the relocation dispute.
The court also imputed an income of $50,000 to the mother for child support purposes, finding she was intentionally underemployed by choosing to be a stay-at-home parent.
