John W. Cook II (Father) appeals the superior court's post-judgment child custody decision ordering the three minor children of the parties relocated for most of the year to New Jersey, where Mother now lives. The order of August 4, 2005, granted Mother primary physical custody during the school year with Father allowed physical custody during the summer, as well as during winter and spring breaks. Each parent would be allowed extended weekend visiting during the other parent's custodial periods. In addition, the parties were ordered inter alia to install videoconferencing equipment to facilitate communication.

Thus, the children have resided primarily with Father in Los Angeles from July or August 2004 through this appeal.
