In the case of “Murray v. Super,” the Massachusetts Appeals Court addressed a dispute involving a mother’s request to relocate her children from Massachusetts to California following a divorce. The mother, who had primary custody, argued that the move would provide her with significant personal advantages, which she believed would benefit the children as well. However, the court found that the proposed relocation would have substantial negative impacts on the children and their relationship with their father, outweighing any benefits to the mother. The court emphasized the importance of the children’s best interests and the father’s rights, ultimately denying the mother’s request. Additionally, the court remanded the case for further findings on the father’s child support obligations, particularly concerning the financial contributions from the mother’s new husband.
