The applicant mother sought sole decision-making, primary residence, and permission to relocate to Poland with the parties' 22-month-old child.
The mother, a Polish citizen without permanent status in Canada, faced potential deportation and relied on the respondent father financially during their relationship.
The court found a history of family violence by the father and determined the mother was the primary caregiver.
Concluding that the mother's lack of immigration status created instability, the court granted the relocation to Poland, awarding her sole decision-making and primary residence.
The court also imputed an annual income of $75,000 to the father and ordered retroactive and ongoing child support, along with a $10,000 lump sum for spousal support.
