Common issues in child relocation cases

Can I move abroad with my child after separation or divorce?

You can only do so with the other parent’s consent or a court order. The court will assess the full relocation plan, the child’s needs and how contact will work.

What if the other parent is trying to move my child without permission?

How does the court decide relocation cases?

Does CAFCASS get involved?

What evidence do I need for a relocation application?

What about international child abduction risks or Hague Convention issues?

A strategic approach tailored to you

Our approach is clear, practical and focused on achieving fair financial settlements whilst protecting your wealth, business, property and interests.

Step One:

Understanding your situation: A confidential meeting with a specialist family solicitor to discuss your goals, concerns and the practicalities of the proposed move.

Step Two:

Reviewing your case: We assess the evidence, the strength of the relocation plan, CAFCASS involvement, and any safeguarding or welfare considerations.

Step Three:

Next steps: We advise whether to pursue court proceedings, negotiate an agreement or issue urgent protective applications — depending on your situation.

Step Four:

Reaching a settlement: Once a decision is reached, we ensure orders are properly drafted and enforced, protecting your child’s long‑term welfare and your parental rights.
