Does a non-custodial parent have to move to Ottawa if the children are in care of a custodial parent?
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
The following excerpt is from CPL v. MBL, 2019 NLSC 224 (CanLII):
This same restriction does not appear to apply to a non-custodial parent. In Whalen v. Whalen, 2005 NLCA 35, the court considered evidence from a noncustodial parent and found that given the non-custodial parent’s “stated intention to move to Ottawa if the children moved, it would be possible for him to proceed in a manner that could accommodate the custodial parent’s plan”.
