The applicant father brought an emergency motion for interim primary residency of four younger children, police enforcement, and an order prohibiting the mother from removing children from the Niagara Region.
The respondent mother brought a cross-motion for interim custody, which was not deemed urgent and was adjourned.
The court granted the applicant father's motion, finding the mother exercised poor judgment in leaving the children without adequate care.
The court ordered the four younger children to reside with the father, with police enforcement and a mobility restriction on the mother.
Partial indemnity costs were awarded to the applicant.
