Re: Relocation of child after divorce...

You may find that your daughter herself may have wanted arrangements
changing in the near future if she does get on so well with the other
siblings...

As the child grows older and her education increases stability is going to
be essential.

But you seem to be looking at this with a sensible approach and not in a bid
to antagonise the NRP...so you are doing everything right. He has the same
choices...either acept and negotiate with you something that is agreeable to
all parties or risk harming the relationship he has with his daughter.
