How does New York law define the “best interest of the child” standard in relocation cases?
Under New York law, the “best interest of the child” standard involves evaluating the child’s emotional, physical, and educational needs. The court looks at how the proposed move will affect the child’s well-being, stability, and overall development, seeking to ensure that the child’s best interests are the primary focus in any relocation decision.
