Rosalee A.Virusso v. Michael J. Virusso, Jr.
The issue presented in this proceeding for modification, in which the mother sought to remove one of two children to Arizona, is whether the trial judge, in the circumstances, properly applied the "real advantage" test; see Yannas v. Frondistou-Yannas, 395 Mass. 704, 705, 706, 711 (1985).
Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020). Parties filing amicus briefs are expected to comply with the requirements of Rules 17, 19 and 20 of Mass. Rules of Appellate Procedure. Amicus briefs, to assist the court, should focus on the ramifications of a decision and not solely on the interests of the parties filing such briefs.
