If you are named as the person that a child lives with under a child arrangements order, then you may take your children on holiday abroad for up to 28 days without requiring permission from your ex. However, if there is no order in place or you wish to take your child out of the country for longer, you will require their written consent.
It may pose a particular problem when you have tried to communicate with your ex but have been unable to reach them, or if they unreasonably refuse to consent. If negotiations break down you may need to seek permission from the Court.
However you choose to negotiate, Vardags can advise you on a long-term solution that will make taking your child on holiday relaxed, simple, and hassle-free, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert children solicitors.
