The parties separated and the husband obtained a divorce and corollary relief in Singapore.
The wife commenced a competing proceeding for divorce and corollary relief in Ontario.
On a motion to determine jurisdiction, the court held that the Singapore divorce, equalization, and spousal support orders were valid and Ontario lacked jurisdiction to review them.
However, the court found that Ontario had jurisdiction over custody, access, and child support, as the children were habitually resident in Ontario and had a real and substantial connection to the province.
