Following a multi-day family law trial concerning parenting decision-making, primary residence, and relocation, the court found the mother had persistently obstructed the children’s relationship with the father and failed to promote their best interests under the Children’s Law Reform Act.
The court granted the father sole decision-making responsibility, primary care and control, and authorized relocation of the children to Saudi Arabia, with structured parenting time, travel, communication, and document-control terms.
The court also imposed enforcement mechanisms including police enforcement under s. 36 of the Children’s Law Reform Act, mirror-order requirements, and financial security due to relocation to a non-Hague jurisdiction.
Claims for spousal support, retroactive support, and property/equalization relief were dismissed, and no present child support order was made against the mother under s. 10(2)(b) of the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
