Providing legal support for relocation matters
Freedom of movement
There are lots of reasons why you might want to move interstate (or even within the same State) or overseas when your relationship breaks down.
This might be to secure family support, to pursue a new relationship or to take up a job opportunity.
While you are free to move, you are not allowed to relocate your child overseas, interstate (or, sometimes, even within the same State) without the consent of the other parent of your child or a Court Order.
Any move which impacts the child’s ability to have a relationship with their other parent, including curtailing the time they usually spend with them would be considered a relocation. If you are thinking of such a move, it’s imperative for you to get legal advice about the ramifications.
