The respondent father brought a motion seeking an order for the return of the child from Cobourg to Oshawa and to prevent future changes to the child's residence without consent or court order.
The applicant mother had moved with the child to Cobourg due to family expansion, health issues during pregnancy, and affordability of housing.
The court found a material change in circumstances and, applying the best interests of the child test, determined there were compelling reasons to allow the interim move to Cobourg.
The respondent's motion was dismissed.
