Marriage of Long v. Long
A finding that a removal is against the child’s best interests must rest on more than a determination that removal will in some way change the visitation arrangements or change the child’s relationship with the noncustodial parent. The court must make a finding that removal will significantly harm or impede the child’s relationship with the noncustodial parent and that this harm will work to the child’s detriment.
