What is the current status quo with the status quo?

In McDonald v. McDonald, 2006 CarswellOnt 1755, the status quo was primary residence with the mother on consent. The parties lived in Sudbury. The mother wanted to move to Toronto with the child who was in junior kindergarten. Even though a move to Toronto would mean disruption for the child because he would go to a new school, live in a new neighbourhood and lose frequent contact with his father and the paternal extended family, in para. 36, the court commented, To a great extent, the life of a preschool child is defined by his or her parents and family. The more significant disruption to the child’s life would be a change of primary residence away from his mother. The termination of daily or weekly contact between him and his mother would be an enormous loss for him. He does not have a significant or independent life in the community.
