Mother’s Request to Relocate Properly Granted

The Second Department determined mother had made a sufficient showing to justify relocating with her child to Michigan, where she could afford an apartment based upon her disability payments alone.  The court explained the operative analytic principles:

“When reviewing a custodial parent’s request to relocate, the court’s primary focus must be on the best interests of the child” … . “Relocation may be allowed if the custodial parent demonstrates, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed move is in the child’s best interests” … . “Although each custodial parent’s request for relocation must be decided on its own merits, the factors to be considered include, but are not limited to, each parent’s reasons for seeking or opposing the move, the quality of the relationships between the [child] and each parent, the impact of the move on the quantity and quality of the [child’s] future contact with the noncustodial parent, the degree to which the lives of the custodial parent and the [child] may be enhanced economically, emotionally, and educationally by the move, and the feasibility of preserving the relationship between the noncustodial parent and the [child] through suitable visitation arrangements” … . In relocation determinations, this Court’s authority is as broad as that of the hearing court … . Thus, a relocation determination will not be permitted to stand unless it is supported by a sound and substantial basis in the record … . Ortiz v Ortiz, 2014 NY Slip Op 04202, 2nd Dept 6-11-14
