The mother sought to relocate with the parties' two-year-old child from Ontario to Pennsylvania.
The father opposed the move, arguing it would unduly hamper his relationship with his son.
The Office of the Children's Lawyer recommended permitting the move.
The court rejected the OCL's recommendation, finding the mother had exaggerated the father's difficulties and had a history of thwarting access.
The court concluded the proposed move was not in the child's best interests as it would significantly compromise the father's access and relegate him to the role of a distant relative.
