What is the impact of self-help by the mother on the relationship between the father and the mother?

[54] On the facts of this case, because the father lives in Montréal, his ability to build a strong and lasting bond with the child would be severely limited, perhaps entirely destroyed, were the court to give effect to the mother’s self-help. Doing so would enable the mother to create a status quo that could ultimately prove insurmountable in a subsequent custody trial. See the comments by Justice Sherr in Nyari v. Velasco, supra.
