Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Jaimie Dawson v. Manuel Ojeda

November 3, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Family Court’s order allowing Jaimie Dawson to relocate permanently to Massachusetts with her minor child. The Court held that the trial justice did not abuse discretion in affirming the General Magistrate’s findings, which properly applied the Dupré relocation factors. Accordingly, the relocation order stands and the case is remanded to the Family Court.
