FAILED TO SHOW LEAVING NEW YORK WAS IN THE KID’S BEST INTERESTS
After her application to relocate to Pennsylvania was denied by the New York County Supreme Court, LH appealed.
On its review of the case, the Appellate Division, First Department, noted that LH had failed to show “changed circumstances” which would have warranted the modification of the parties’ 2018 settlement.
Among other things, LH didn’t show “economic necessity for the relocation,” the kid’s special ed needs were already “adequately addressed” here in NYC, and her proposed plan to move her parents with her, to help with childcare issues, was viewed as “tenuous.”
Since, ultimately, it wasn’t in the child’s best interests to make the move, the AD1 “unanimously affirmed” the denial of her request.
Bet she didn’t find that moving.
