Can I move away with the Children - unusual circumstances
Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2018 6:00 pm
Hi there. I'm after a little advice please.
I have residency of my three children. Their father stopped contact with them in August 2015 and has occasionally since threatened me but hasn't seen our children at all. He has now taken me to court because he wants to have contact with the children again but I am worried about the effect contact will have on our children.
I would like to move 4 hours away to start a new life with the children. I would like to move to the area that provide the source of material for my business - I am self employed. I have also been mentally affected by my ex-husband and I really want to break away from him.
However, the county I want to move to is also the same county where my partner of the last 5 years lives. He is a registered sex offender who comes off the register this July. My ex brought out an order in 2015 to stop my partner from having contact with my children and I have stuck to this and will continue to do so. However, finding childcare while I travel away to see him has been difficult and so a move to the same county would mean I could see him without having to go away for days on end. My partner would live in one part of the county and I would live in another. My partner is also my business partner.
I would like to know if my ex-husband would be able to prevent this move or prevent me moving the children away based on what I have said above please.
I really CANNOT stay here. I have gone downhill mentally over the last couple of years due to my ex-husband's erratic and scary behaviour and I am desperate for a fresh start.
Thank you.
