Hypothetical question of course. Me and my long term partner are planning to move county due to a change in our work situation.

Say this actually transpired, can my child's father put the brakes on this? His permission would be needed to enroll our daughter in a new school, I've always done things by the book.

My child visits his dad 2 days per week (his choosing as always) and a weekend of his choosing per month. The relationship is obviously kept civil for the child's sake and she enjoys her time with both of us. She also enjoys a fantastic relationship with my partner of 8 years.

The work situation may require upping sticks to an area 2 hours away and deadlines would need to be met the enroll the child etc in the new school in the new area. It would also afford her a greater standard of living with 3rd level prospects etc.

I've even secretly wished her dad and his partner would be amenable to this move, I'd move heaven and earth to maintain her relationship with her dad but I'm afraid her father will simply see this as us wishing to cut him out. I'm open to suggestion from him in terms of alternative access arrangements but he does not like being dictated to at all.

I've been told by him in the past that he would object to me moving anywhere. Work could potentially make this a necessity for me and my partner.

Could he hypothetically simply refuse to sign school permission forms resulting in me having to stay put in order to suit the current access order? New proceedings could see us miss the deadline for 1st year applications

Thanks very much in advance
