The father brought a motion to change to prevent the mother from moving with their 3-year-old child from Dundas to the Kincardine area to live with her fiancé.
The mother sought an order allowing the move.
The court found that the proposed move constituted a material change in circumstances.
Applying the Gordon v. Goertz framework, the court determined that the move was in the child's best interests, as it would provide the mother with financial stability and a new family unit, while the father would still have regular access.
The mother was permitted to relocate with the child, and the father's access schedule was adjusted to accommodate the increased distance.
