If either you or your partner/spouse are Italian nationals, but your children have been raised or educated in England & Wales, you may have concerns as to your children’s future schooling and country of residence, as well as potential changes to your contact with them following a separation/divorce. You may also be concerned about giving or receiving financial support for your children. You may even be concerned about your partner/spouse taking the children abroad without your permission. At Vardags, we understand what’s at stake in these situations, and our lawyers work diligently to resolve such disputes as quickly and as smoothly as possible.
We are experts in complex, cross-border cases, assisting clients around the world before the English courts. And with our dedicated Italian desk we have specific expertise in Anglo-Italian cases.
If you are an Italian national with children living in the UK, and you have a children-related legal matter, contact Vardags today for a free initial consultation with a member of our specialist Italian desk.
If your ex opposes your plan to move abroad with your children, there are numerous strategies that can be deployed to overcome their opposition.
While the court will be unable to stop you from relocating, it’s primary concern will be whether it is in your children’s best interests to do so, and whether there is an appropriate strategy in place for the children to maintain regular contact with the other parent.
