Strahm v. Strahm

Full title: GEORGE E. STRAHM, Respondent, v. PAMELA STRAHM, Appellant

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Nov 2, 1998

255 A.D.2d 308 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

679 N.Y.S.2d 342

Opinion

November 2, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Ponterio, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

When reviewing a custodial parent's proposed move to a new locale, the court's primary focus must be on the best interests of the child (see, Matter of Tropea v. Tropea, 87 N.Y.2d 727; Matter of Browner v. Kenward, 87 N.Y.2d 727). We conclude that the Supreme Court correctly determined that the best interests of the child would not be served by the proposed relocation.

Mangano, P. J., Miller, Thompson and Luciano, JJ., concur.
