Leave to remove cases deal with a parent seeking court permission to move a child abroad, usually for longer than a temporary visit. The court weighs the child’s welfare, potential disruption to schooling and family ties, and the impact on both parents. A solicitor helps prepare the application, gathers evidence about the child’s welfare and attachment, drafts the request and any notices, engages the other parent, and represents the client in hearings in the family court. The decision can affect residency and contact arrangements.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor collects evidence about the child’s welfare, schooling, and ties to home, drafts the court application to remove, coordinates reports from any guardians or social workers, and represents the client at hearings. The outcome determines whether the child may relocate and how parental involvement continues, with the court capable of non-removal orders if relocation is not in the child’s best interests.
