This is an important question as it impacts the legal considerations applied by the court. If your child has substantially equal time with both parents then the court may view the relocation in a negative light as it will otherwise impact the time your co-parent spends with your child.  If however your child resides primarily with you and your co-parent has limited or unequal contact, your chances of the court approving the relocation are higher.  Essentially, the court will view your opportunities as your child’s opportunities, which means if one of you benefits from the relocation so does the other.
