The applicant mother brought motions to vary and to stay a trial order pending her appeal.
The trial order had denied her request to relocate with the child to British Columbia, awarded primary care to the respondent father unless the mother lived in Sault Ste.
Marie, and imputed an income of $50,000 to the mother for child support purposes.
The court dismissed the motion to vary as procedurally improper.
The court dismissed the motion to stay the parenting provisions, finding no evidence of harm to the child and emphasizing the need for stability.
However, the court granted a stay of the child support payment pending appeal, noting the mother's financial hardship and the lack of detriment to the father.
