Matter: Relocating Interstate with Children During CoVid and the Family Law Court
Parties Involved:
Decision:
Granted permission to relocate interstate despite Covid19 lockdown
Brief Description:
At a time when planes are grounded and people are stranded, we had a successful relocation case in the Federal Circuit Court (family law division).
Travel prohibitions were in place between the states but our client was granted permission to relocate.
In this case our client had a major victory and won her application to relocate interstate on an interim argument to take up the job of her dreams, a permanent position with a significant pay-rise following successful application against allegations of family violence and parenting orders.
This year we have seen many families are torn apart, unable to join their families or take up job offers of their choice. Relocation applications where children are involved and the ex partner, other parent does not agree are tricky. Everything depends on getting the documents correct and providing the right evidence to the court in a timely fashion.
This is just one of many brilliant outcomes we have had.
