Legal Question in Family Law in New York

The court granted me a temporary order of Primary residence of my 7 year old daughter, and allowed me to relocate to another state and enroll her in school in the new state. How likely is it that my ex can just get this reversed because he wants more time when he still sees her 2x every week and every other weekend?

You will need to build a persuasive case to demonstrate to the court that permanent relocation is in the best interests of your daughter. If there is a parenting plan that affords the father considerable visitation with your daughter, and if you foster a meaningful relationship between your daughter and his father, the court may allow you to permanently relocate. On the other hand, if the court believes that you are denying the father reasonable parental access to your daughter, or if it believes that you are interfering with his bond with her, they may deny your application to relocate. Obviously, it is always best to have an attorney to represent you at trial.
