Child Relocation Lawyer

If arrangements for Contact and Residence are already in place, stipulating that your child resides with you, and both parents agree to the proposed relocation without affecting the child arrangements, you may be able to move with your child without the need for legal proceedings.

However, if the other parent opposes the relocation, it is typically necessary to make an application to the court.

Relocating a child can be a complex matter with legal implications, and the outcome may significantly affect the child's life and the relationship with both parents. Therefore, it is highly advisable to seek early legal advice and guidance to navigate this process effectively and ensure that you are aware of your rights and responsibilities under the law. Our solicitors will deal with your case with compassion and professionalism.

If there is a formal agreement from both parents as to the relocation of the child, you will not need to go to court. It is advisable that you keep a record of this agreement in writing in case of changing circumstances.

If an agreement cannot be reached between the parents, there are alternatives to going to court. Our team can help the parents reach an agreement through mediation.

If no agreement can be met, we will lead you through the court process. The court can decide whether a child can be relocated and other arrangements regarding contact with the other parent. The well-being of the child will be the Court’s paramount concern.
