Re: Taking children out of the county
You will have parental responsibility for your children and as such they cannot be removed from the UK without either your agreements or leave of the court.
If it looks as if your wife is proposing to take them overseas without obtaining your agreement you should make an immediate application to the court for a prohibited steps order. Full details on how you may do this are available from our website.
