In the wake of that instruction, this court, in Brody v. Kroll (1996) 45 Cal.App.4th 1732, 53 Cal.Rptr.2d 280, had recent occasion to hold, in a case where the parties had "actual" joint physical custody of the child, that a family law court should reconsider the basic custody arrangement when one of the parents moved away from the area.
