Under the DA, what identifies a change of place of residence as opposed to a relocation?

This distinction is important because a change of a child's place of residence may handle day-to-day or temporary changes that do not impact the parental rights or the child’s relationship with the other parent in the same way that a relocation would. Relocations typically involve more significant moves that could alter the child’s living situation and time with their parents, thereby opening up the possibility for objections from the other party.

When there are no provisions allowing the other party to object, it indicates that the move does not invoke the same level of concern or legal scrutiny as a relocation would.
