The applicant mother brought a motion seeking to relocate to Nova Scotia with the parties' five-year-old son to start a farming business.
The parties had a shared parenting arrangement in Guelph, Ontario.
The court applied the relocation provisions of the Children's Law Reform Act and found that the mother bore the burden of proving the move was in the child's best interests.
The court concluded the mother's financial and farming plan was uncertain and that the move would drastically reduce the child's time with his father and extended family.
The motion to relocate was dismissed.
