Relocation factors.–In determining whether to grant a proposed relocation, the court shall
consider the following factors, giving weighted consideration to those factors which affect the
safety of the child:

1. The nature, quality, extent of involvement and duration of the child’s relationship with the
   party proposing to relocate and with the nonrelocating party, siblings and other
   significant persons in the child’s life.
2. The age, developmental stage, needs of the child and the likely impact the relocation will
   have on the child’s physical, educational and emotional development, taking into
   consideration any special needs of the child.
3. The feasibility of preserving the relationship between the nonrelocating party and the
   child through suitable custody arrangements, considering the logistics and financial
   circumstances of the parties.
4. The child’s preference, taking into consideration the age and maturity of the child.
5. Whether there is an established pattern of conduct of either party to promote or thwart the
   relationship of the child and the other party.
6. Whether the relocation will enhance the general quality of life for the party seeking the
   relocation, including, but not limited to, financial or emotional benefit or educational
   opportunity.
7. Whether the relocation will enhance the general quality of life for the child, including,
   but not limited to, financial or emotional benefit or educational opportunity.
8. The reasons and motivation of each party for seeking or opposing the relocation.
9. The present and past abuse committed by a party or member of the party’s household and
   whether there is a continued risk of harm to the child or an abused party.
10. Any other factor affecting the best interest of the child.
