The Respondent Father brought an urgent motion to prohibit the Applicant Mother from travelling outside of Canada with their 5-year-old daughter, V., to San Antonio, Texas.
The Mother had unilaterally planned the trip amidst high conflict and without the Father's consent, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel advisories.
The court found the matter urgent, dispensed with the requirement for a case conference, and granted the Father's request, prohibiting international travel without mutual written consent or a court order, and ordering the child's passport to be deposited with the Father's counsel.
