Alkebulan v. Dunham CA4/1
In this "move-away" case, the family court found a one-year-old boy's mother had always been his primary custodian, that the mother's plan to move to Texas was made in good faith and not for the purpose of interfering with the father's relationship with his son and that it was in the child's best interest to maintain the existing custody arrangement. Contrary to the father's argument on appeal, the family court's findings are fully supported by the record and the record shows he received both a reasonable opportunity to mediate the controversy and to prepare for a hearing on his objection to the move. The record also shows the family court did not abuse its discretion in denying his request for a custody evaluation.
