In a Decision – Curran v. Curran, (an "Unreported Decision") >> the Court Held:
The Appellate Division affirmed the Trial Court and held that mother had
autonomy over the daily activities of the children, entitling her to take short vacations with them.
The motion judge determined that Mother, as the children's primary caretaker, had autonomy over the daily activities of the children, and as the primary residential parent, is entitled to take short vacations out of state with the children during her parenting time, provided there was no interference with Father’s parenting time. Mother took the children to West Point, Pennsylvania, Illinois to visit their cousins, New York City to see a Broadway show, and Florida to see their grandparents. The actions did not violate the custody statute governing the out-of-state removal of a child, under N.J.S.A. 9:2-2.
