age 5, born 23 November 1996.
4. The said child is the subject of an order entered by this court on 29 September
1997, a copy of which his attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A. Since the date of that
order, and at all times since the child's birth, the child has resided in the primary physical
custody of Defendant.
5. Since the entry of the order of 29 September 1997. the parties have modified the
custody schedule provided in that order. As a result, the child currently spends alternating
weekends and one overnight period each week with the Plaintiff's parents and the Plaintiff
spends several hours during each of those periods in the presence of the child. For the most
part, the child has not spent the night with the Plaintiff during his period s of temporary
custody.
6. Defendant is romantically involved with, and has lived for some time with Jan H.
Tobisch. M.D.. whom she plans to marry. She and Dr. Tobisch have a young child, Jan D.
Trobisch, age 4 months. born 1 January 2002, who lives with them.
7. Defendant wishes to relocate with the child to Bakersfield, California, for the
following reasons:
A. Dr. Trobisch will commence a two year residency in internal medicine
at a hospital near Bakersfield, on 1 July 2002. Defendant wishes to
accompany him so that she can keep the family they have built together intact.
B. Defendant is a registered nurse and plans to obtain employment in the
Bakersfield, California, area so as to maintain and provide a comfortable home
for her children.
8. Defendant believes that her intended move to California will serve the best
interests of the minor child who is the subject of this action for the following reasons:
A. It will maintain the family of which the child is a part and which
includes Defendant, her boyfriend, and their child.
B. It will foster the continuing close relationship which the child has with
her present family.
C. It will permit Defendant to substantially increase her financial ability,
and that of her family, to provide for the child and to meet the child's financial
needs.
9. Defendant wishes to move to California with the child for legitimate reasons and
not for the purpose of restricting or reducing the Plaintiff's time with the child. Based upon
the Plaintiff's conduct over the last several years, the Plaintiff does not enjoy a close
relationship with the child and sees her only sporadically.
10. Petitioner believes that a relocation to California will benefit the child in several
ways, including:
A. It will maintain primary physical custody with Petitioner, who has
always been the primary care provider of the child since her birth; and
B. It will maintain the child in her present family structure with
Petitioner, her boyfriend, and the child's sibling; and
C. It will permit Plaintiff to significantly improve her situation and,
therefore, the home for the child by allowing Petitioner to provide care for the
child by a member of the child's family at almost all times, by providing the
child with more household income and material benefits, and by maintaining a
close and loving relationship between the child and the members of her present
family; and
D. Such a move will disrupt the father's contact with the child very
little, since the father's conduct is currently erratic, irregular, and infrequent.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this court to modify its prior order in this matter to
allow her to move to California and take the child with her and to set a schedule of time for
the father to have periods of temporary custody other than those set out in the last order.
