Moving a significant distance — or abroad — with a child usually needs either the other parent's agreement or the court's permission.

What this covers
  • When permission to relocate is legally required
  • What courts weigh in relocation cases
  • International relocation specifically
  • Timescales for resolving these disputes
These cases move faster with early advice, particularly where an international move is involved.
