NADELMAN & NADELMAN

In *Nadelman & Nadelman*, the father sought interim parenting orders requiring the mother to relocate the child's residence back to their former living region. The court was asked to determine whether such an order was in the best interests of the child at this interim stage.

The central legal issue before Newbrun J was the paramount consideration of the child's best interests in the context of an interim relocation application. This required the court to weigh the competing claims of the parents and assess the potential impact of any order on the child's welfare, stability, and relationship with both parents.

Newbrun J ultimately declined to make the proposed interim order for relocation. The reasoning focused on the need to maintain the status quo and avoid disruption to the child's current living arrangements and schooling, particularly at an interim stage where a final determination had not yet been made. The court made interim parenting orders that did not involve the requested relocation, prioritising the child's immediate stability.
