What is the legal process to prevent child relocation in the UK?

Under UK law, if there are any concerns about the welfare of children being relocated, then parents or guardians will need to seek permission from the court before they can move with their children. This process involves filing an application for leave to remove – which includes providing evidence as to why relocation would be beneficial for both parent(s) and child. This application must then be approved by the court.

In order to ensure that a parent or guardian is able to make an informed decision, solicitors may be appointed to represent the child’s best interests. This legal representative will work with all parties involved in the relocation process and advise them on their rights and obligations. Once the application has been approved, solicitors can help by providing advice on any further steps that need to be taken in order for the relocation to proceed legally.

How can someone legally relocate a child in the UK?

It is essential to consider the best interests of the child when deciding if relocation should be legally allowed. Under UK law, there are some situations where a parent can apply for relocation to another part of the country or even abroad.

The court process must be accessed in order to successfully relocate a child in most cases and our solicitors at John Barkers are experienced with such applications. Generally, it is expected that all involved parties will have proper legal representation during this process and an agreement between parents may help expedite proceedings; however, ultimately it is up to the court to decide whether or not permission for relocation will be granted.
