Relocating a child or children is common family-law work that involves asking for or resisting permission to move a child to a new home, sometimes inside the country or abroad. A solicitor in this area helps with applications for leave to relocate, or defences against relocation challenges, and may prepare evidence about the child’s welfare, schooling, and relationships. They also advise on mediation, draft court documents, and represent clients at court hearings to secure or resist a move.
Where a solicitor protects your position
A custody-shaped decision to relocate can change a child’s life and practical arrangements dramatically, including schooling, extended family ties, and daily contact. A solicitor protects your position by guiding you through the court process, ensuring deadlines are met, and presenting evidence and arguments that reflect the child’s best interests under the Children Act 1989 and related law.
