Relocation abroad with child Ascot is an exciting journey, but there are a few legal considerations to bear in mind. Whether you’re moving away for work, to be with family or just for a new way of life, your relocation must comply with UK family law.
In the UK, in most cases, both parents share parental responsibility for a child. So, consent from the other parent (or a court order) is required before you can move internationally. If an agreement cannot be reached between parents, the parent who wants to move might have to apply to the court for permission. The court will look at several factors, such as the child’s welfare, the reason for the move and the impact on the non-relocating parent.
