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. *
