The applicant father sought an order restraining the respondent mother from removing their six-year-old child from Ontario.
The respondent mother sought permission to temporarily relocate the child from Oakville to Astana, Kazakhstan from September 2017 to March 2018 to reside with her partner, a professional hockey player.
The court granted the mother's request, permitting the temporary relocation on the same terms and conditions as a previously agreed order permitting relocation to China.
The court found that the separation agreement explicitly permitted the mother to relocate with the child, that the father had recently consented to similar terms, and that the mother's proposed arrangements adequately addressed concerns regarding education, health care, and security.
