Written consent to relocate abroad - what do I need?

[Coffeeeclair]

Hi everyone,

Probably really silly questions but, the father of my child has agreed to let me relocate abroad with our kid and is willing to give a written agreement.

My questions are:
Do I need any other document besides the letter?
Does all he need to do is write a letter and sign it or does the signature have to be legalized somewhere?
Can the letter be handwritten?
What should the letter contain?
Can he write it and then change his mind in the future? What happens then?

Thank you

I don't know the correct answer, but I would 100% get it written and signed in front of a solicitor so nothing can come back on either of you if something changes.

Interested in this as I’d love to relocate but I coparent. Was it difficult to get him to agree? Have you agreed visit arrangement?

The letter, passports and, if necessary, visas are all you need. However, it is a useful precaution to have your child's birth certificate and, if your surname is different from your child's, a divorce or marriage certificate.

All he needs to do is write a letter and sign it. It would be helpful if the letter gave details of where you are going and when.

The letter can be handwritten provided it is legible.

If he withdraws his consent, you will need to go to court to get a specific issue order allowing you to relocate with your child.

Thank you everyone !!

Our case is a bit particular as he's a child sex offender so he's not allowed any contact, direct or indirect with our child as of now, the most he'd get in the future would be maybe supervised in a contact centre and very limited so he agreed.

I read of other cases and usually the resident parent travels back to the UK a couple of times a year and facetimes and calls on a regular basis.
It is also apparently recommended you also show that your child will still have contact with your in laws as well if that benefits your child.

Oh after seeing your update I wouldn't waste your money on a solicitor fee to get the letter done at x
