The High Court affirmed the Family Court: the judge correctly applied ss4 and 5 and properly considered the child's views under s6; the status quo is a relevant factor but not a presumption; relocation was refused because maintaining the child's existing schooling, close bonds (including with father and maternal grandmother), and day-to-day paternal involvement best promoted the child's welfare and best interests.
