Per Curiam.

The instant appeal involves a domestic relations matter. The sole issue ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍on appeal is whether the trial court abused its discretion in permitting the custodial parent to move the children outside of the State of ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍Nebraska. The general rule in cases where a custodial parent wishes to leave the jurisdiction for any legitimate reason is that the minor ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍children will be allowed to accompany the custodial parent if the court finds it to be in the best interests of the children ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍to continue to live with that parent. Jafari v. Jafari, 204 Neb. 622, 284 N.W.2d 554 (1979).

The court, having reviewed the record in this case de novo, agrees ‍‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍with the result reached by the trial court. The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
