The applicant mother and respondent father brought competing motions regarding where their three children should attend elementary school following their separation.
The mother sought to enroll the children at a school in Sault Ste.
Marie, while the father sought to keep them at their current school in Echo Bay.
The court found that despite the logistical inconvenience to the parents, it was in the best interests of the children to maintain stability and consistency by remaining at their current school for the academic year, given the stress they were experiencing from the separation.
