With more families living across borders, questions about moving children internationally after separation are increasingly common. But can parents move their children abroad without the child’s other parent permission?

In this episode, Tim and Jen are joined by Mills & Reeve Associate Annie Wogel, who specialises in international family law. Together, they tackle the myth that a parent can move abroad with their child without the other parent's consent and explain the legal requirements for international relocation.

The discussion covers why parents consider moving overseas, the importance of early communication and mediation, what the courts look for when deciding these cases, and the practical steps needed to plan a move. The team also outlines the court process, timelines, and when to seek legal advice, providing essential guidance for parents facing international relocation decisions.
