Jaime Taormina Bisbing, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Glenn R. Bisbing, III, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the statutory "cause" inquiry for interstate child relocation under N.J.S.A. 9:2-2 must be decided by a best‑interests analysis for all contested relocations where the parents share legal custody, abandoning the two‑part Baures test. The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment and remanded for a plenary hearing on the best‑interests factors, rejecting the notion that the parties’ settlement agreement waives the relocating parent’s right to judicial review.
