Hi there
When is she talking about moving?
How old is your child, would the move disrupt her schooling?
How long has she known the new boyfriend and what arrangements are in place as far as accommodation is concerned?
Is she moving from England to Scotland, or vice versa?
All these questions have a bearing on your situation, if the move is very soon you can apply for an urgent Prohibited Steps Order. If the move isn't about to happen you would have to attend mediation first, unless you are in Scotland and then you can apply to court without having to attend mediation.
