Picking good witnesses, like family, coaches, doctors, social workers, psychologists, counselors, or the kids' school personnel, can help a lot. They can tell the court about the kids' circumstances and what's in their best interest.
In New York, there is no specific set distance in which a parent may be allowed to move with their child or not. New York's family court judges custody orders and relocation matters on a case-to-case basis depending on the child's best interests.
