Why would a court deny a parents request to relocate?
Ohio law provides that modification of a parenting time schedule to accommodate a relocation will not be allowed if the move would not be in the childrens best interest. Relocation requests may be denied for many reasons including the following: 1) there is no legitimate reason for the move; 2) there is significant local involvement of the childrens extended family; and 3) there is evidence that the relocating parent is unable or unwilling to cooperate with the parenting schedule.
