The applicant mother sought an interim order permitting her to relocate the parties' two children to New York pending trial, while the respondent father sought interim sole custody.
The court dismissed both motions, finding that a temporary relocation shortly before trial was not in the children's best interests and that there was no compelling reason to change the existing custody order.
The court ordered that the children's primary residence remain with the respondent pending trial, granted him authority to make educational decisions including whether the children attend school virtually or in person, and ordered virtual access for the applicant.
