The parties consented to an order designating the mother as the primary residential parent of their five-year-old child, with the father having extensive access.
The sole remaining issue at trial was whether the mother should be permitted to relocate the child's permanent residence from Ottawa to Toronto, where she had secured employment.
Applying the Gordon v. Goertz framework, the court found that the move was in the child's best interests, noting the mother's role as primary caregiver, her financial stability in Toronto, and the father's ability to exercise his access in Toronto.
