REYES
Court denied mother's petition to remove her minor child from Illinois to California. As a removal petition is not a petition to modify custody under Section 610 of the Marriage Act, court should apply preponderance of evidence standard, not the more stringent clear and convincing evidence standard. (PALMER and McBRIDE, concurring.)
