What is the role of the parenting status quo on an interim motion?

Gerbert v. Wilson, 2015 SKCA 139 discusses the role of the parenting status quo on an interim motion. As noted at paragraphs 11 and 12, that factor does not displace the paramount or only consideration on an interim motion, namely the best interest of the child. Rather it is rooted in that very consideration, recognizing that changes in primary residence have a profound effect on children and a temporary change is one that could be reversed in the final resolution. In that sense, it is the profound changes that the court needs to be more cautious about, and changes in parenting time (what used to be called access) are not to be treated in the same way, as they are less likely to alter significant aspects of children’s lives such as their day-to-day home environment, routines, activities, etc.
