Montana father's custody appeal rejected over 10 extra miles of driving

The Montana Supreme Court has reaffirmed a previous ruling on a parenting plan modification initiated by Justin Aikins, who sought changes after his ex-wife moved a mere 10 miles away. The court concluded that minor increases in distance do not justify altering existing custody arrangements. Attempts at mediation were unsuccessful, and this decision establishes an important precedent regarding relocations and shared parenting in Montana.
