Hello,
I would like to relocate with my 9 years old daughter from the UK to Brazil. I divorced her father in January 2009 and since then she has had no contact with him for almost 6 years now. No financial support or contact of any sort. I remarried in 2011 and my daughter has build a strong relationship with her step dad. We are a very happy family and she considers him her father as she doesn't really know or remember her birth father. I don't know where he lives but heard from his dad that he has remarried and has another family. He has never bee interested in my daughter's life.
We have decided that we want to relocate to Brazil as my husband is Brazilian. By the way I have full custody of my daughter and am allowed to travel with her up to 28 days without consent from her birth father. My question is since we have had no contact with him and don't really know his whereabouts and I was to just move there do I need to go to court to apply for permission. I have had some legal advice and lawyer said that unless he goes looking for us then nobody would question me.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
