What is the test for a mother who wants to move to Scotland?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from S.C.P. v. J.P.B, 2016 ONSC 1308 (CanLII):
[172] Woodhouse v. Woodhouse was 1996 Ontario Court of Appeal case. The court upheld the trial judge who did not allow the mother to move to Scotland. The court noted that the legal status of the relationship between the child and the parent is not in itself determinative of the best interests test. The court must examine the benefits of the new location against the continuance of full contact with the access parent and that parent’s extended family.
