The case “Murphy v. Murphy” involves a divorce proceeding where the Appeals Court of Massachusetts upheld the Probate and Family Court’s decision to grant joint legal custody of the couple’s daughter to both parents, while awarding sole physical custody to the wife. The court also permitted the wife to relocate with the daughter to New York, applying the “real advantage” standard from the Yannas v. Frondistou-Yannas case. This standard was deemed appropriate as the wife was considered the primary caretaker, despite a temporary shared custody arrangement. The court found that the move provided a real advantage to the wife, who had family support and job opportunities in New York, and concluded that the relocation was in the best interests of the child. The court also addressed financial matters, including attorney fees and uninsured medical expenses, modifying some aspects of the original judgment.
