Relocation and Emigration with Children

Mataela Attorneys >> Family Law , Law >> Relocation and Emigration with Children

A frequent legal question in family law disputes is whether a parent may relocate to another province or country with a child.

Relocation cases require careful legal and factual consideration, including:

  • The reason for the move
  • The impact on the child’s relationship with the other parent
  • The child’s emotional, educational, and social wellbeing
  • Practical contact arrangements after the move

The court does not automatically favour either parent. The decision always centres on what arrangement will serve the child’s best interests in the long term
