What are the consequences of a trial judge's errors in allowing a primary caregiver to move her children to a new family home?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R.D.F. v. D.R.H., 2007 NSFC 40 (CanLII):
They found the trial judge failed to properly consider the economic impact on the children if the move was not permitted and thereby committed an error in principle. The trial judge also erred in failing to accord the views of the mother (the primary caregiver) "great respect and the most serious consideration" (see Gordon v. Goertz, supra).
