If you wish to relocate your child abroad, you must obtain the consent of the other parent or permission from the court. Without this consent or court approval, you could be guilty of child abduction, a serious criminal offence.
If you are concerned that the other parent may relocate your child without your consent, it is crucial to act quickly. An application for a court order can prevent the other parent from relocating to another part of the UK or abroad. In urgent situations where there are imminent threats to relocate the child, we can help you make an emergency application to the court.
Child relocation is a contentious area of law, often involving emotive opposition from the other party. Applications to the court for permission to relocate are rarely straightforward.
Our lawyers have extensive experience in both applying for permission to relocate and opposing such applications. We work diligently to present a compelling case to the court, whether you are seeking to relocate or prevent a relocation.
You may know our name from some of the highest profile family law cases of the last decade in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, against other leading law firms. But we also act efficiently and discreetly on many cases that are kept entirely out of the public eye.
HOW CAN VARDAGS HELP WITH YOUR CHILD RELOCATION MATTER?
When a relationship breaks down, deciding where a child will live can become a complex and emotionally charged issue, especially if one or both parents wish to relocate.
If you wish to relocate your child abroad, you must obtain the consent of the other parent or permission from the court. Without this consent or court approval, you could be guilty of child abduction, a serious criminal offence.

Even if you and the other parent can agree that one of you moves away with the children, you must get a written agreement from everyone who has parental responsibility – or you run the risk of the move being seen as child abduction.
Our goal is to resolve the situation rapidly and discreetly, minimising long-term damage to your family. We provide clear explanations of your options and support you through every step of the legal process.
We cover the full range of child relocation matters. In cases involving international relocation, we collaborate with foreign lawyers to ensure your interests are protected across borders.
