In this episode, Kimberley and Dawn talk about the things you need to think about before taking your child abroad.  Many parents mistakenly assume they can take their child on holiday without the other’s permission and that is not always the case. The consequences can be dire and so it is important you are well prepared.  If you want to move abroad permanently with your child then you really need to reflect on what is best for your child.  Kimberley and Dawn discuss all the legalities so that informed choices can be made.
