The self-represented appellant father appealed an Ontario Court of Justice trial decision that upheld a separation agreement, granted decision-making responsibility to the respondent mother, and permitted the child's relocation.
The father argued the trial judge erred in her ultimate decision and in proceeding with the trial despite parallel proceedings.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding no errors of law, fact, or mixed fact and law.
The court held that the trial judge correctly applied the law on duress regarding the separation agreement and properly focused on the child's best interests in the relocation analysis.
