The applicant father and respondent mother, both with military backgrounds, shared parenting of their two children in Chalk River.
The mother, a warrant officer, was posted to Kingston and sought to relocate the children with her.
The father opposed the relocation, seeking primary residence in Chalk River.
The court applied the relocation framework under the Children's Law Reform Act and found that moving the children to Kingston was not in their best interests, given their strong ties to their school, community, and father in Chalk River.
The court ordered that the children's primary residence remain with the father, with the mother having generous parenting time.
