Hello I was wondering if anyone can help me. Its a long story. I adopted my ex dp 2 dd a few years ago and now have full custody of the dds. There mum died when the youngest was 6 month old and my ex is in prison. My now dp has asked me to move to Tunisia to be with him as I am pregnant with our child. I was wondering as my ex still has pr if I can legally take the girls with me? Tia

I think you'd need his permission to remove his dds from the country. But I'm no expert.

It is child abduction (an offence) if you move abroad with them without either his permission or the court's permission. You would need to ask him first (if he agrees, make sure you have it in writing). If you need to apply to court you need a specific issue application on form C100. If you are successful the court will grant you leave to remove from the jurisdiction. There have been plenty of threads on this in the past, so do a search to find out what you need to do to prepare your application (hint - it's all about demonstrating a sound, well thought out plan).

My dd doesnt see her dad, hasnt for years through his own choice, so if my dd & i move do i have to get his permission?

NicknameIncomplete It doesn't matter how much or how little contact you have, it's all about PR. If her Dad has parental responsibility, he must give permission (or a court must overule him and grant permission) for a move abroad

NatashaBee we would be coming back every 3 months so we would visit him then.

I don't think he would give his permission as he likes to be in control of everything even from inside of prison. I don't want to have to wait until the youngest dd is 18 as that's another 13 years.

You will need to try and get his consent. If he refuses you can go to court for a specific issue order.

NatashaBee they seee him once a month as he is at a prison 200 miles away. He only ever gets in touch the week before visiting to tell me what to take up. He doesn't bother about the dds any other time.
