There must be mutual agreement between the parents before this can take place. Different advice applies to parents intending to move permanently versus going on a holiday. It is important to remember that it is usually beneficial for children to have a relationship with both parents, and other important people in their lives (provided it is safe). Moving away, interstate or overseas, can affect these relationships. The court can make orders to return the children if it is deemed not in their best interests to move, or if there was no mutual agreement. It is imperative to obtain legal advice before making significant changes.
