The applicant mother brought a motion seeking leave to obtain a passport for the parties' young child and to travel to India for six to eight weeks.
The respondent father opposed the motion, citing concerns that the mother would not return to Canada.
The court dismissed the travel and passport requests, noting the mother's tenuous connection to Canada, the lack of a specific travel plan, and the fact that India is not a signatory to the Hague Convention.
The court also severed the divorce from corollary relief and adjourned the issue of financial disclosure.
