The father brought an application under the Hague Convention for the return of the parties' two children to Florida.

The mother had relocated the children to Ontario without the father's consent, breaching their shared parenting agreement.

The mother opposed the return, arguing under Article 13 that returning the children posed a grave risk of harm and that the children objected to returning.

The court found no evidence of grave risk and determined that the children's objections were significantly influenced by the mother and not substantial.

The court ordered the children to be returned to Florida.

The applicant brought a Motion to Change seeking to vary a 2005 order regarding spousal support and pension division.

The respondent brought a motion to dismiss the applicant's Motion to Change under Rule 1(8) of the Family Law Rules, arguing that the applicant had failed to obey a 2007 order requiring her to reimburse him for support overpayments.

The court found that the applicant's non-compliance was willful and that her underlying claims lacked merit, as the pension administrator correctly applied the Pension Benefits Act in determining she was not a spouse entitled to survivor benefits.

The court granted the respondent's motion and dismissed the applicant's Motion to Change.
