The applicant mother brought a motion seeking to relocate the parties' two children from Sault Ste.
Marie to London, Ontario, where she had moved with her new spouse.
The parties had previously shared parenting equally.
Applying the best interests of the child test from Gordon v. Goertz, the court found that the children were most closely connected to Sault Ste.
Marie, where they had lived most of their lives, attended school, and had established social and family connections.
The court dismissed the motion, ordering that the children's primary residence remain with the respondent father in Sault Ste.
Marie, with joint custody continuing.
No costs were awarded.
