The applicant mother sought primary care, sole decision-making authority, and permission to relocate the parties' nine-year-old child to Armstrong, B.C. The respondent father opposed the relocation and requested shared parenting and joint decision-making.
The court granted the mother's request, finding that the mother has always been the primary caregiver, the father has historically minimized his violent behavior, and the relocation offered a more stable environment for the child in her mother's care.
The father was ordered to have in-person parenting time with the child during summer and school breaks.
