What to consider when relocating with children

Relocating with children can be a complex and emotional process. If you are considering relocating with your children in New South Wales, there are several important factors to consider.

Firstly, it is important to obtain legal advice as early as possible to ensure that you are fully aware of your legal rights and obligations. The Family Law Act 1975 sets out a range of considerations that must be taken into account when making parenting arrangements, including the child's best interests, the child's relationship with both parents, and the practicality and impact of the proposed relocation.

In addition to legal considerations, it is important to think about the practicalities of the move. This can include issues such as finding suitable accommodation, enrolling your children in a new school, and establishing a support network in your new location.

It is also important to consider the emotional impact of the relocation on your children. Moving can be a stressful and disruptive experience for children, particularly if they are leaving behind friends, family, and familiar surroundings. It is important to provide your children with emotional support and reassurance during this time.

Finally, it is important to communicate openly and honestly with your ex-partner about your intentions to relocate. Ideally, you should aim to reach an agreement about parenting arrangements that takes into account the best interests of your children.

Relocating with children can be a challenging and complex process, but with careful planning and the right support, it is possible to achieve a positive outcome for all involved. If you are considering relocating with your children in New South Wales, contact us to discuss your options and ensure that you are fully informed about your legal rights and obligations.
