Description
Argued January 22 Opinion The plaintiff, Ellen McGinty, appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the motion of the defendant, John McGinty, to modify visitation with respect to the parties' minor child. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court (1) committed plain error by hearing motions to modify the visitation order without the participation of counsel for the minor child and (2) abused its discretion by modifying the visitation order without finding a material change in circumstances. We affirm the judgment of the trial court. The following facts are relevant to the disposition of this matter. The parties' marriage was dissolved by agreement on November 22, 1996. The parties, who lived a relatively short distance from each other, shared joint legal custody of their minor child. The plaintiff, however, had primary physical custody. In September, 1997, the defendant filed several post-dissolution motions, 1 including a motion for appointment of counsel for the minor child, which the court granted on October 14, 1997. In May, 1998, pursuant to the dissolution agreement, the plaintiff notified the defendant of her intention to move with the child from her home in Connecticut to New Jersey. The defendant filed a motion to enjoin the plaintiff from moving with the child, which was denied on September 4, 1998. Counsel for the minor child participated in the relocation proceedings. Shortly after the court's decision, the plaintiff moved with the child to New Jersey.
