Christopher N. v. Erica S. CA5
Father was granted temporary sole physical and sole legal custody of the child. Mother was granted limited supervised visitation. Mother requested increased visitation; father requested that he be permitted to move with the child to Idaho. The court tried the matters together. It concluded the child should be permitted to move away with father, but continuing the supervised visitation would effectively result in no visitation for mother. It ordered that the existing visitation arrangement continue until father and child relocated, but upon relocation, mother would be allowed unsupervised visitation, including 30 uninterrupted days during the child’s summer vacation and specified holidays. Father appeals, contending the conditional order is designed to coerce him into abandoning his plans to relocate and does not give priority to concerns about the child’s safety.
