The respondent father brought an urgent motion seeking resumption of parenting time, police enforcement of a court order, and a finding that the mother had moved the child's residence in contravention of a court order.
The mother sought authorization to relocate the child from Etobicoke to her parents' home in Newmarket prior to trial.
The court found that while the mother initially took the child to her parents' home for March Break during the COVID-19 pandemic, she failed to return as required by a prior court order.
The court determined that the relocation was not necessitated by the health crisis and ordered the mother to return the child to the Etobicoke residence pending trial.
The relocation issue was reserved for determination at trial.
