California Court of Appeal

In a dispute involving the legal and physical custody sharing arrangement of a minor child, judgment of trial court denying a move away request is reversed because when a parent who shares joint physical custody of a minor requests authorization to relocate the minor, the court must proceed on the assumption that the parent will in fact be moving, and must fashion a custody order that is in the best interests of the minor accordingly.
