NOVA SCOTIA COURT OF APPEAL
Citation: Ross-Johnson v. Johnson, 2009 NSCA 128
Date: 20091211
Docket: CA 313772
Registry: Halifax
Between:
Heidi Ross-Johnson
Appellant
v.
Christopher Johnson
Respondent
Judge: The Honourable Justice Elizabeth A. Roscoe
Appeal Heard: December 2, 2009
Subject: Family Law, custody and access
Summary: After finding that the mother had intentionally interfered with and prevented the child's access to the father, the trial judge found a change in circumstances and ordered custody to the father with access to the mother.
Issues: Whether the trial judge erred in finding a change in circumstances, in determining the best interests of the child, by failing to accept the report of the parental assessor, by failing to use other enforcement processes, and in failing to find that the father stood in loco parentis to the mother’s other children from a previous relationship.
Result: Appeal dismissed. None of the grounds of appeal justify interference with the trial judge's decision.
