2. “[o]ne factor to be considered in deciding whether to modify custody is the child's adjustment to his home, school, and community. See § 40-4-9. Factors stressing stability and continuity of care and environment are of particular importance to younger children. See Schuermann v. Schuermann ; Sydnes v. Sydnes [, 388 N.W.2d 3, 6 (Minn.App. 1986)]. Thus, ordinarily, in joint custody cases, the burden is on the party seeking to relocate to show that the relocation is in the best interests of the child.”
