Sec. 6. (a) If a nonrelocating parent files a motion under section 5(a)(3) of this chapter, the court, after notice and an opportunity to be heard or after compliance with Trial Rule 65(B), may grant a temporary order restraining the relocation of a child or order the child to be returned to the nonrelocating parent if the court finds: (1) that the notice required under section 3 of this chapter was not served in a timely manner and the parties have not presented an agreement regarding the relocation of the child; (2) that the child has been relocated without: (A) the appropriate notice; (B) an agreement between the parties; or (C) a court order; or (3) from an examination of the evidence presented at the temporary hearing, that there is a likelihood that, after a final hearing, the court will not approve the relocation of the child. (b) The court may grant a temporary order permitting the relocation of the child pending a final hearing if the court: (1) determines that the notice required under section 3 of this chapter was provided in a timely manner; (2) issues orders that may be necessary for temporary custody, parenting time, support, and grandparent visitation with the child; and (3) reviews the evidence presented at the temporary hearing and determines that there is a likelihood that, after the final hearing, the court will approve the relocation of the child. (c) If the court issues a temporary order authorizing the relocation of the child in its final judgment, the court must consider factors: (1) other than; or (2) in addition to; the temporary relocation of the child when issuing a final order.
