Separated parents with children subject to time arrangements must understand that if they want to move from their existing premises, they must discuss this with the other parent and seek their consent by doing so, before moving.
If the proposed move was going to significantly change the time your children or former partner would have to travel, then you would have to seek the permission of either your former partner or the courts. This law aims to protect the relationship of parent and child. In saying this, one parent cannot unilaterally alter the relationships of the child concerned in relation to one or the other parent.
