The Supreme Court of Canada has clarified that determining a child’s “habitual residence” under Ontario’s Children’s Law Reform Act is a factual and contextual test that looks beyond just where the parents intended to settle. Courts will now evaluate where the child feels “at home” by examining ties like social, educational, cultural, linguistic, and family connections. If you’re facing a family law matter and need guidance navigating how habitual residence could affect your child custody or jurisdiction claims, contact our trusted divorce lawyer Mississauga today. #FamilyLawyersMississauga #DivorceLawyersMississauga #DivorceLaw
