What factors will be taken into account in determining mobility issues?

The factors to be taken into account in deciding mobility issues are canvassed in Gordon v. Goertz, 1996 CanLII 191 (SCC), [1996] 2 S.C.R. 27. As therein indicated, while it is inappropriate to start with a presumption in favour of the wishes of the custodial parent, such wishes are entitled a great respect. Each case must be considered on its own facts, with the best interests of the children being paramount. The existing custody arrangement shows the applicant to have played the paramount role in the children’s upbringing, and shows her to have a deep bond with the children and the ability to provide a good home for them.
