The children's best interests must always be at the forefront of the Court's evaluation in relocation petitions.
Why is this important?
The NJ legislator should repeal Baures vs. Lewis by passing S1137 (Senate) and A-339 (Assembly). Children's rights and their best interest must be at the forefront of the Court's evaluation of possible relocation in Divorce matters, not the wishes of any one Parent over the other. Kids are not property!
A large body of research that was used to support Baures is now refuted as invalid. Other States whose laws were also used to support Baures have since switched to the 'Best Interests' standard.
