Jaime Taormina Bisbing v. Glenn R. Bisbing, III
(A-2-16; 077533)
The Court recognizes a “special justification” to abandon the standard it established in Baures v. Lewis, 167 N.J. 91 (2001) for determining the outcome of contested relocation determinations pursuant to N.J.S.A. 9:2-2. In place of the Baures standard, courts should conduct a best interests analysis to determine “cause” under N.J.S.A. 9:2-2 in all contested relocation disputes in which the parents share legal custody.
