R.M. v. N.F.

NANOVIC, P.J,

— The state legislature in sections 5328(a) and 5337(h) of the Child Custody Act, 23 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 5328(a) and 5337(h), set forth sixteen custody and ten relocation factors to be considered by the court in deciding issues of child custody and requests for relocation respectively. Notwithstanding these checklists, the guiding principle in all child custody litigation is the best interests of the child. With this in mind, we review mother’s appeal from our decisions denying her request to relocate and granting, in part, Father’s request to modify the existing custody order.
