Moving back "home"

Hi, does anyone have experience with moving away from the father of the children to your home country? I really want to move back home and so do my children, they are 11 and 13, they have grown up here in the UK but are still super keen to move and start afresh. They have been to Denmark back and forth all their life and love the country, the people and the lifestyle. Their father is not happy to let them go, which i can understand. Now he sees them every other weekend and not much in the holidays, due to work.
I have mede contact with a solicitor and would go to court should I have to?
Any ideas, suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated. How long can a court case like this take? cost? what are my rights?
Thanks!!

Interested because currently considering this myself. DH had an affair and now wants a divorce. We met in UK but are both from the same country outside the EU. Our two children are both dual citizens and have visited our home country. All my family are located in the home country and I want the emotional / financial support. I also don’t think I can support myself financially here without lots of childcare help for the children whereas there I have grandparent support for after school care etc.

The Hague convention would almost certainly forbid you from removing your children from the country against the wishes of the other parent. You will need to seek legal advice.

Yes seek advise DO NOT remove them without proper arrangements.this happened to a colleague and quest what he now has full custody of three children.
Think carefully

I know that court takes support network very seriously, so thats a great point to add to your reasons why you want to move! I hope you can get your wish to happen.

I wouldn't move them without their dads blessing, thank you though for highlighting that!
