What is the impact of a parent’s financial circumstances on the child of a separated parent's ability to move to a different community?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from J.T.R. v. L.L.M., 2017 ONCJ 455 (CanLII):
[94] Several cases have recognized that requiring a parent to remain in a community isolated from his or her family and supports and in difficult financial circumstances will adversely impact a child. The economic and financial benefits of moving to a community where the parent will have supports, financial security and the ability to complete their education and establish a career are properly considered in assessing whether or not the move is in the child’s best interests. See: MacKenzie v. Newby, 2015 ONCJ 434.
