Can my wife obtain a court order to take my children to Ireland without my permission ?
Hi Yes, your wife can apply for a court order to take your children to Ireland permanently without your permission. However, the court would grant this order only if it's in the best interests of the children. She would need to file for leave to permanently remove the children from the jurisdiction of the court. To obtain permission from the court, she would have to show: 1. That she has considered contact, and has put forward very decent proposals; 2. That her reason for going is not to damage the relationship between you and your children; 3. That the economic circumstances of the children will not decrease; 4. That the housing circumstances will not decrease; 5. That the education the children will receive is at least as good as that they receive now; 6. That the location is generally safe; 7. That overall she has a considered and well put together plan for the move. Hope this helps. Regards.A.Stewart39875.567141169
