It depends.

If there was an original decree that included a geographical restriction, and she moved, then the child can be returned to that area (either to the dad, or the mom can keep primary conservatorship, and move back).

If there is a different circumstance, I would guess that it would depend upon the testimony and circumstances underlying the order.
