The applicant sought a temporary order to permit the relocation of the child, Cassidy Khan, to Orangeville, Ontario, from Brampton.
The respondent opposed the move, arguing it would disrupt the existing parenting schedule and reduce his time with the child.
The court, applying sections 24 and 39 of the Children's Law Reform Act, found that the relocation, driven by the applicant's need for stable and affordable housing, would not significantly impact the child's relationship with the respondent.
The court noted the parties' failure to formalize parenting arrangements despite the absence of major obstacles and approved a reconfigured parenting schedule that maintained the same number of overnights for the respondent.
The motion to permit relocation was granted, and the parties were ordered to negotiate a consent order for decision-making and a revised parenting schedule.
