The trial court found that while Mother's request was made in good faith, she failed to meet her burden to show the relocation was in the children's best interest. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, concluding that the trial court's decision was supported by substantial evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence.","primaryTopic":"child-custody","topicSlugs":["child-custody","family-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=168094","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/hilary-obrien-v-michael-obrien-d83197","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: child-custody"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
