My ex-wife has been granted permission to take our two children to the States so that she can do her doctorate there – after a professional appointed by the court recommended this . I am considering appeal. Is there any chance that I might get the ruling overturned , or get a better visitation deal ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 02 June, 2022Without knowing the details of the case it is impossible to predict chances of appeal in a relocation case, as much depends on the findings and recommendations of the report made by the professional appointed by the court. Usually in relocation cases the court is guided by the recommendations of the professional who will endeavour to analyse what is in the minor/s’ best interests where the interests of the parents clash – e.g. where there are the conflicting interests of professional advancement versus parenthood.
However, if both parents are found to have parental capability, then it is possible that the parent fighting relocation can improve his/her deal by appealing.
