Re: Intrastate Move
He can challenge it in court if he is so inclined, but MA law does not prevent you from moving anywhere you want to within the Commonwealth. Twenty-five miles is not going to give any court a problem, unless you are deliberately moving somewhere that will be difficult for the father to visit, and have no other reason for moving.
