Relocating with a child after separation or divorce in Australia

What is important to understand in situations of child relocation after a divorce, will it be seen as viable or not by the family court?

What is in the best interest of the child after a divorce? This is the most important question the court asks after a divorce.

However, for many reasons, people find themselves in the situation of wanting to spend time in another city after a divorce, and if you can provide reasons that this is in the best interest of the child, then the court will take this into account. For example, if you have additional support in another city or there might be better employment opportunities in another city, and therefore can provide better for your child.

Each circumstance is different each relationship is different, and you're best off speaking to a family lawyer before you make a decision to move.

If your partner wants to move, you need to make your position clear as soon as possible, as soon as you get any indication that that parent wants to move with your child.
