The respondent mother sought permission to relocate the child, Mason, from Ontario to New Brunswick.
The applicant father opposed the relocation.
The court considered the child's best interests under the Children's Law Reform Act, including the child's strong wishes and preferences to remain in Ontario, the quality of the father's relationship with the child, the lack of compelling reasons for relocation, and the mother's concerning pattern of non-compliance with court orders.
The court denied the temporary relocation order, finding that relocation was not in the child's best interests at this time.
