Can 1 parent prevent another parent from moving home?

Say there are two parents who have separated and the parent who has the kids wants to move to another city. Can the parent who does not look after the kids prevent this?

No, almost certainly not.

I think they can stop them moving out of the country with help from a lawyer? But they can't stop you moving city.

When my daughter was growing up, the courts decided that contact with her dad was very important, because her mother had issues.

Contact with both parents is important, moving to another city would be ok in some cases, but not others.

Seek some free legal advise.

A new Court Order could be made if a case could be made regarding new circumstances being detrimental to a child's welfare.

That order could involve changes to residency, contact etc.

Is the current arrangement covered by a court order?
