Text: We conclude that the district court erred as a matter of law when it applied an incorrect legal standard with respect to removal. Because this was an initial custody determination involving children born out of wedlock, the court should have considered Lauren’s plan to move the children to Iowa as - 945 - Nebraska Supreme Court Advance Sheets 310 Nebraska Reports FRANKLIN M. v. LAUREN C. Cite as 310 Neb. 927 part of its analysis of all factors relevant to the best interests of the children. We further conclude that after it found domestic intimate partner abuse was present in this case, the court failed to make the special written findings required by § 43-2932(3), and that because it failed to make such findings, it erred when it awarded shared legal and physical custody to Franklin. We therefore vacate the order and remand the cause for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Judgment vacated, and cause remanded for further proceedings.
