DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
When reviewing a custodial parent's request to relocate, the court's primary focus must be on the best interests of the child (see Tropea v. Tropea, 87 N.Y.2d 727, 739; Matter of Abadinsky v. Abadinsky, 264 A.D.2d 476; Harmon v. Harmon, 254 A.D.2d 456; Pardee v. Pardee, 246 A.D.2d 522; cf. Matter of Huston v. Jones, 252 A.D.2d 502, 503; Matter of Mascola v. Mascola, 251 A.D.2d 414, 415). Here, contrary to the father's contentions, the record provides a sound and substantial basis for the Family Court's determination, inter alia, to grant the mother's application for permission to relocate with the parties' son to Cromwell, Connecticut (see Pardee v. Pardee, supra at 523).
