Yelverton v. Stokes

In Yelverton v. Stokes, 247 A.D.2d 719, relocation of the mother was not permitted, although the mother as custodial parent married a man with a lucrative job in a distant state with no similar possibilities in New York State. The non custodial father had alternating weekends and two days of weekday visitation with the child and a close relationship with the child. The custodial Mother failed to plan for the child's schooling in California and her new husband was inexperienced with children.
