moving away

Digby

I thought that I had posted this already, but it seems to have been lost, so will ask again

What are my rights with taking my child to live elsewhere in the country.  I want to move nearer to my family as where I am at the moment I have no family at all apart from my 9yr old son.

I split with my husband a year agao, so this isn't a hasty decision, it has been long thought out, and the more time that goes on the more I realise that I need to be closer to my family for their help and support.

I will make access for my son as easy as possible in regards to seeing his dad.  I will split holidays etc with him and I am willing to drive half way to meet up for visits. 

Do I have to see a solicitor or am I allowed to do this?  Can I move without asking my ex's permisson?

Hi Digby, it hasn't been lost, there is a glitch in the site which means that a new topic will appear on the front page but not at the top of its section till it gets a reply. I always look at the front page to make sure every new topic gets a reply as soon as possible. The glitch is currently being ironed out. So I have replied to you in the section Parenting Support, here is the link to that section:  http://www.onespace.org.uk/your-talk/discussions/parenting-alone/welcome...

Hi Digby

I have tried to follow Louise's link, but I am not sure where it is taking us!  Oh it is frustrating trying to navigate this site!

It is great to see you back.

I don't think there is anything to legally stop you moving wherever you want however I think that it would be worth talking to a solicitor regarding your house and mortgage payments etc.  You can usually get a free half an hour with most solicitors, to see whether you need to speak with them further.

How are you doing anyway?  It has been a while since we last spoke. Its been over a year since you split up, how is single parenthood?  Are you feeling more confident?  How is it going with your son's father?

I look forward to catching up with you.

The other thread is also in this parenting support section, started by Digby, so just look at "advice as to whether I can move away"
