You should seek the consent of the other party's parents before relocating. If the other party's parents do not agree, you will need to apply to the family court for permission to relocate. We recommend carefully considering what will happen in the proposed new residence so that you can convince the court that you have made adequate arrangements for the child's housing, education, etc. Additionally, you will need to demonstrate to the court that you have arranged proper contact with the other party's parents to avoid unduly depriving them of time with the child. Like all parenting issues, the family court will consider what is in the best interests of the child, but the court will also give due regard to the wishes and circumstances of the parents.
