NEUMANN, Justice,
concurring and dissenting.
[¶57] I agree with the majority that the goal of achieving the best interests of the child in relocation cases must be given more specific and instructive content to guide trial courts and afford more uniform dispute resolution. I believe the standard articulated by the majority is an important first step in providing that content.
[¶ 58] I, however, cannot agree that the trial court’s findings are clearly erroneous under the vague, undifferentiated best interests standard. I would therefore remand for the trial court to reconsider the motion in light of the more specific standard articulated in the majority’s opinion.
[¶ 59] William A. Neumann
