Y.A. v. Y.M., 2026 ONSC 4913

Case Summary

The applicant mother sought to relocate with the parties' two children to Lyon, France, and sought sole decision-making responsibility and child support orders. The respondent father opposed the relocation and sought to maintain the children's residence in Ontario. The court granted the relocation, finding it in the children's best interests due to the mother's role as primary caregiver and the availability of family support in France. The mother was granted sole decision-making responsibility. Child support arrears were ordered based on prior court endorsements, and income was imputed to the father at $45,000 for ongoing child support.
