Kathryne B.F. v. Michael David B.

This appeal arises from post-divorce proceedings. When the parties divorced in 2008, Mother was designated primary residential parent of the parties' one-year-old son. Mother later remarried and sought permission to relocate to Australia with the child. Following a hearing in 2011, the trial court denied Mother's request to relocate and changed the designation of primary residential parent to Father. Mother moved to Australia with her new husband. Mother instituted this proceeding in 2013, alleging that a material change in circumstance has occurred and that it is in the child's best interest to live with her in Australia. The trial court considered testimony over the course of four days and eventually dismissed Mother's petition. In a previous appeal, this Court remanded the matter for specific findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court subsequently entered a lengthy written order explaining its decision. Mother filed a second notice of appeal. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
