The applicant father sought to change a final parenting order to obtain primary care and decision-making for the parties' two children.
The children had been living with the applicant since the respondent mother suffered a mental health breakdown in 2019.
The applicant subsequently relocated with the children to Orillia without the respondent's consent.
The court found that the applicant had perpetrated family violence against the respondent and acted in bad faith by relocating.
However, the court determined it was in the children's best interests to remain in the applicant's primary care, as they were stable, doing well in school, and expressed a strong preference to stay with him.
The applicant was granted final decision-making authority, and his request to impute income to the respondent for child support was dismissed.
