Good Morning everyone, I wish you all a very happy and full of hope new year!
I would like to receive your feedback and help.
I had with my ex a Child agreement act ruling calls and visits with my son.
My ex applied for a Relocation overseas (which had been sadly allowed from May 2021).
The last Relocation Order Act changed obviously (because of distance and time difference) the Contacts agreements.
Now my ex is saying that The new Relocation Contacts agreements are valid and that the old Child arrangements Act is not valid anymore and she wants me to stick to the new ones.
- How can this be possible if the Relocation Act was meant to rule our Contacts after the Relocation?
- Am I right to ask to respect the Child arrangements until she is in Uk before the Relocation to the other country?
Have you got any advice for me?
PS: in the Relocation Act nothing is said about the old Child agreements and about the new ones substituting the old ones.
Thank you all in advance for your always precious help.
May the force be with all dads!
Hi,
Am no expert, but in the new relocation order, does it make mention of the existing child arrangements? I would have thought that the current arrangements stay in place until she actually relocates.
See if you can get a free consultation with a solicitor about this.
Thank you so much for your reply Bill!
No words spent about the existing child arrangements at all in the Relocation Act.
I'll try to follow your suggestion as, me as you, I thought that the current arrangement would have been in place until the relocation happened.
Thank you again so much! I wish you all the best with the new 2021....
