Leave to remove children from UK

Hi all, any information about your experience dealing with Leave to Remove would be really appreciated.

I live in the UK but am from Kerry in Ireland where all of my family live.

I am mum to 3 young boys (5 and Under) and I am in the divorce process.

I have to make a decision now about what is best for my kids and I and given I don’t have any connection to the UK anymore personally, my children do as their dad lives here, I think it would be best for me and the kids if I return to live in Ireland to have the support of all of my family.

Abuse (verbal and emotional) is being inflicted on me and my children by their father and I am really struggling without being around my family for support and I have no safe place to go. He won’t move out.

I work full time and I am aware that I would need a new job secured in Ireland to have any chance of success with moving home with my children.

Could I ask that if anyone went through the court process to obtain leave to remove (where it was granted or refused) could you tell me how this went for you.

I am really trying to get child arrangements initiated and need to decide what to apply for (CAO for us to remain here or Leave to Remove for us to move home).

I am really worried that if I apply for LTR and it is denied that the abuse towards me and the kids will escalate.

Thanks in advance!!

I do understand why you would want to do this but I also think that if the children don’t want to go ( I understand they’re very little) then it could be a very difficult move.
I have no experience to share, in the end I would expect any court process to choose what is best for the children rather than you personally. Whatever that might be.

Sorry, realised I misread. He’s being abusive to the children??? That would change things I would think?
