There are many reasons you might wish to take your children abroad. You may feel isolated and want to move closer to family and support networks, seek a lifestyle change, or simply plan a holiday. In some situations, you may need to take your children away to protect them from harm.
If you want to take your children abroad without the other parent’s consent, you must obtain court permission through a ‘leave to remove’ order. Removing a child from the country without this permission is a criminal offence with serious consequences. However, the court will consider any relocation request with an open mind, focusing on the children’s welfare.
