What happens if a spouse wants to move?
*In those in-between cases where the child's time isn't shared ''substantially equally'' and the child isn't in the care of a spouse for the ''vast majority'' of their time, ''both'' spouses have the job of showing whether the proposed move is or is not in the child's best interests.
Section 16.92 of the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' has a list of factors that the court should think about when deciding whether to allow a move or not. These include:
#the reasons for the move;,#the impact of the move on the child;,
#whether there is an order, an arbitrator's award or an agreement that a spouse will not move; and,
#the reasonableness of the moving spouse's proposal on how decision-making responsibility, parenting time and contact can be exercised after the move.
