Child's Change In Residence: The main concern of the judicial system, when it comes to child custody, is the welfare of the child. Changing residences is generally considered stressful for a child. If the move takes them from their friends, family and community ties, it may trigger a custody battle. If the parent remaining in the community is a fit parent, they may be able to change the custody arrangements. A move across town will probably not be enough to challenge custody, unless some form of detriment can be shown. If the child wishes to stay with the other parent instead of moving, the court may examine the child's request. All aspects of each environment will be examined. *
