Is there a material change in circumstances since the mother of a child with learning disabilities obtained a new order for a second time?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.L.P. v. S.J., 2010 NSSC 107 (CanLII):
The mother has not contested that there's been a material change in circumstances since the last order was granted in July 2004. According to Justice McLachlin, as she then was, in Gordon v. Goertz, 1996 CanLII 191 (S.C.C.) at paragraph 13, my task is to make a fresh inquiry into the child's best interests, having regard to all relevant circumstances relating to her needs and her parents' abilities to satisfy them.
