International Child Abduction & Relocation

Home / For many years I have wanted to make "Alyia" and live in Israel. My husband objected but we are now divorced, and I wish to move from the UK to Israel with our 2 minor children of whom I have custody. Can my ex-husband (their father) prevent it?

Yes, until a certain point. If your ex-husband objects to the children’s relocation to Israel, you will have to obtain a Court decision in the appropriate Court in your country, authorizing you to relocate with the children to Israel. The Court has the authority to allow you to relocate despite your ex-husband’s objection.
