    Hi there, am posting question in relation to family law. Am seperated almost 2 yrs.. Have 3 children 2 with ex 1 from previous relationship which ex adopted and is now 18.

    So my question concerns 2 younger children, they live with me and ex pays min maint. he takes the two younger ones overnight once a month. Lives 100 miles away with new gf. Doesn't make any contact at all with 18 yr old Doesn't see kids on xmas or summer.. is free see as much as he likes to, but doesn't bother.

    So I am in new relationship and am considering moving abroad with my kids to be with new partner,and eventually marry.

    Life here is difficult. Raising 3 kids on my own, v little money and huge joint mortgage...And little or no prospects for my kids here, no hope of paying for 3rd level either..
    .
    Where do I stand legally with this, can ex stop this, how can I handle properly.. Is a big decision and I want to weigh up all the varibles.

    Thanks

    To be honest I think this is a subject that you should not really be looking for advice on in an Internet Forum and I say that not trying to be a smart ass. Aside from the legal implications there is also the emotional implications of removing the children from their other parent. (what ever you may think of the other person they are still the Child's parent)

    As for the legal implications I strongly advise that you seek the advice of a legal profesional who has a very good knowledge of family law.

    In the mean time have a look at this Child Abduction and Enforcement of Custody Orders Act, 1991.

    This link explains the same thing in simpler terms.

    TBA, I would never consider taking the children without their Dads consent.. He's not a reasonable man but at the end of the day he is their Dad, they are his babies...

    I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, just really wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience or advice... i have an amazing solr and will go to him for help...

    Hopefully will all work out, optimisim or nievity... anyway i appreciate the response..

    Thank you
