A man who followed his ex-wife to New York City from Colorado to be closer to their child has won his bid to block her from making a 20-mile move to the suburbs.

Finding the woman’s reasons for relocating “undefined” and questioning her motivation, Family Court Judge Lori S. Sattler (See Profile) concluded in S.F. v. G.F., V-15616-09/V-12319-09, that relocating, even a short distance, would adversely impact the couple’s daughter by reducing her from “a child with two full-time parents to one full-time parent and a part-time parent.”
