NOVA SCOTIA COURT OF APPEAL

Citation: Reeves v. Reeves, 2010 NSCA 35

 

Date: 20100428

Docket: CA 318614

Registry: Halifax

 

Between:

Natasha Olivia Reeves

Appellant

v.

 

Bruce Allen Reeves

Respondent

 

 

Judge:                        The Honourable Justice David P. S. Farrar

 

Appeal Heard:         April 13, 2010

 

Subject:                     Family Law – custody and access – considerations – requirement that the children live in a designated area.

 

Summary:                 This was an appeal by the mother from a decision ordering the mother as custodial parent to live with the children within the boundaries of the former City of Dartmouth, Cole Harbour, Eastern Passage or Bedford.  To do so she was required to move the children from Porter’s Lake.  The mother also appealed two other provisions in the corollary relief order, a provision extending the time for the father’s alternative weekend access and a provision ordering that the father would have first choice of summer access times in each year following 2009. 

 

Issue:                         Did the learned trial judge err in granting the relief?

 

Result:                       The trial judge did not make any material error, seriously misapprehended the evidence or make an error of law in deciding the issues under appeal. Appeal dismissed without costs.
