Court did not abuse its discretion in denying wife's amended petition for relocation of the minor child of the parties to California. There was evidence supporting court's conclusions that husband's motives for relocating were not decisive on question of whether the move would be in the child's best interest. Court did not abuse its discretion in considering the various relevant factors, and court's conclusion that relocation would not be in the child's best interests was not against manifest weight of evidence. (JORGENSEN and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
