What is the limitation of a mother’s right to seek to relocate her elderly, disabled mother to a new home where P is living with her elderly grandmother?

Yukon, Canada


The following excerpt is from MRM v BC, 2016 YKSC 16 (CanLII):

Gordon v. Goertz instructs me that the mother’s reasons for wanting to move are only to be considered in the exceptional case where they are relevant to her ability to meet P.’s needs. Obviously, the tragic situation with the maternal grandmother’s deteriorating health is a compelling reason for the mother to want to move. There may also be some benefit to P. in spending time and getting to know her grandmother in the last few weeks of her life. However, the overall circumstances of the mother’s plan have not been well laid out, and indeed would seem destined to invite a fair degree of chaos into P.’s life.
