Is a change of circumstance affecting the parenting time a guardian has with the child?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from D.M. v. E.M., 2014 BCSC 2091 (CanLII):

This observation was also made in Gordon v. Goertz at para. 14; a move of residence significantly altering the parenting time a guardian has with a child is a material change of circumstance affecting the child.
