Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Elliott Wilk, J.), entered April 28, ‍​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‍1993, which denied defendant husband’s motion to enjoin plaintiff wife from relocating with the parties’ child from New York City to New Hope, Pennsylvania, ‍​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‍unanimously affirmed, without costs.

We agree with the IAS Court that plaintiffs relocation to New Hope where her new husband could be within commuting ‍​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‍distance of his work in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, does not violate the parties’ separation agreement. New Hope is within 60 radial miles, although 77 ‍​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‍road miles, of the Empire State Building. Moreover, although defendant’s midweek visitation has necessarily been diminished, the court has increased his visitation in other ‍​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‍respects. Concur — Murphy, P. J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Ross and Rubin, JJ.
