HELP! taking my child out with me....

[timtamlover]

hello, im new here so not sur eif this is the right place to post this but im looking for any one that is or has been in the same boat as me...

my childs father walked out on us 3 yrs ago and since then my parents have moved to oz, i have a new partner now and we are all very happy together appart from one thing, were in the wrong country! we desperatly want to move over to australia, the father of my child has him a couple of days a month and doesnt pay a penny but he has said that he would never let me take our child away.

i have looked into what i need to do to be able to leave the country, and so far i am aware i either have to get him to sign a form or take it to court. i am at the top of a very big ice berg as i havent really looked into getting a visa or anything like that yet, i am at the momment looking for the peace of mind that i can take my child with me, i dont know weather i have a good chance or not.

has any one taken their child with them to oz where the father has been un happy about it or in the procces of doing so, or of course have any info? advice/help would be brilliant! Thanks

Hi Poppy,
just wondering if you got to go to Oz as I am in a similar situation...... I am thinking of going out there (in the very early planning stages!) But I know that my ex partner will not want me to take our child.
What happened with you?

The first step for you would be to discuss the idea of moving to Australia with him and get a definitive answer. Who knows, he may surprise you. If you get an absolute 'NO' from him, then you will have to try getting permission through the courts. If he is a dead beat dad, doesn't have any visitation, and doesn't pay child support, then you might stand a good chance. If he is a devoted dad, then things may not go in your favor.
While you may find this unfair, your childs father has ever right to make sure his child remains in the same country as he is.
