Thinking about moving with your child?
If another person has Parental Responsibility for your child, you may need their agreement before relocating, particularly if the move could significantly affect the child's relationship with the other parent.
Relocation decisions can involve:
✅ Moving to a different area within the UK
✅ Moving abroad with your child
✅ Changes to schooling and childcare arrangements
✅ Impact on existing contact arrangements
✅ Court applications where parents cannot agree
The court's primary concern will always be what is in the child's best interests.
