In todays multi-cultural society we are seeing more and more families with parents from differing international backgrounds and it is now quite common to see children with parents from differing countries of origin. However when these relationships break down we often see a situation where one parent wishes to relocate oversees, taking the children with them. If consent is not forthcoming from the other parent agreeing to this move then an application will need to be made to the court for leave to remove the children from the country.
There can be many reasons for a parent wishing to relocate abroad - these include: returning to their homeland for family support (either emotional or financial): a new job in a country able to enhance your career: a new start, or a new relationship.
These cases need to be well constructed from the outset. Any parent intending to make an application must prepare a detailed plan in support of their proposed move providing practical arrangements, including accommodation, schooling and employment as well as setting out their commitment to support and facilitate the relationship between the children and the respondent after relocation. They need to demonstrate that it has been thoroughly researched and planned, with details surrounding schools and availability of places etc. You will also be required to show, in depth, how contact will still be maintained between the children and the left behind parent - this includes not just telephone or video calling (especially where there is a time difference to contend with), but also overnight trips (subject to distance) or holiday times etc, including who will be paying for these - if YOU are the one moving away can the other parent afford to visit, where will they stay, are your childen old enough to travel alone? Many people do not factor this into their plan and this is where experienced legal counsel can make all the difference to your case. We can help you whether you wish to apply for, or oppose, a leave to remove london case. We will always be honest with you and advise you of your options, even if it may not be what you wish to hear.
The courts will always put the welfare of the children before any parental needs or wishes and therefore persuading the family court that your proposals or reasons for opposing a leave to removal application are genuine, without malice and in the best interests of the child or children can be key to winning the case. We have personal as well as professional experience of successful leave to remove litigation so really are best placed to help you with your own personal leave to remove London case.

Against all the legal advice he received, he utilised the joint legal and psychological approach which underpins this firm to ensure a successful resolution of his litigation which has had long-term benefits for the entire family. He treats every client, whether opposing or applying for relocation as if acting in the best interests of his own children and his track record of success speaks for itself.
