DePrete v. DePrete
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, Beth DePrete, appealed from an order of the family court reflecting the court's denial of her motion seeking leave of court to relocate the parties' two minor children from Rhode Island to Texas and seeking modification of the final judgment o divorce to reflect same. The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the family court, holding that the family court justice (1) did not overlook or misconceive the evidence and was not clearly wrong in finding it was not in the best interests of the children to allow them to relocate to Texas; and (2) properly applied the criteria set forth in the Supreme Court's decision in Dupre v. Dupre in determining whether relocation served the best interests of the children.
