After a divorce or separation, one partner may want to relocate to another country with the children. This is generally acceptable if both parents agree.
But what can you do if you don’t want your children to relocate? Our solicitors can help.
Can you take your children abroad?
If you have parental responsibility for your children, then the other parent cannot take your children abroad without your consent. Even if it’s just for a short holiday, both parents with parental responsibility must agree that the child can go.
Normally, this isn’t a problem for a short holiday. If you are opposed to the idea though, please get in touch with us and we can discuss your options.
It can be more problematic if one parent wants to take the children to live abroad.
It’s possible to do this, if the other parent agrees. If you have their consent, then you’re free to live abroad with your children.
If the other parent doesn’t agree, then we can help you access the legal route to make it happen.
You may have to go to court to apply for ‘Leave to Remove’.
