Contrary to the contention of the father, the mother established by a preponderance of the evidence that relocation to New Jersey was in the best interests of the parties’ child. Here, the mother demonstrated that she was not able to meet her living expenses while residing in Queens, and the father conceded that he did not regularly pay his share of the childcare expenses. The mother also demonstrated that, if she were permitted to relocate, her mother would assist with the childcare and that she and the child would be able to reside, at a reduced rent, in her mother’s home, located only blocks from where the child would attend school. While the father’s loss of weekly weekday contact with the child was neither trivial nor insignificant, the relocation was not a great distance and the visitation schedule devised by the court allowed for the continuation of a meaningful relationship between the father and the child. Further, the Family Court’s determination was in accordance with both the child’s stated preference and the position of the attorney for the child.
