What do I do if I want to move provinces with my child/children?

In order to move provinces with your child/children, you will usually need either:

1. Some form of court order or agreement that specifically outlines permission to leave the province you currently reside in. In the event that you are not in possession of such documentation, you should speak to your family lawyer in order to gain a further understanding of the appropriate steps that need to be taken before you are able to proceed with the move.

2. If you and your partner cannot agree to the terms of the move, the authority is placed in the hands of the court to come to a final solution regarding the issue. The judgment established by the court will determine whether or not you are authorized to move the children out of the province. In family law, this type of issue is referred to as a mobility issue. At the center of the court's analysis will be determining what is in the best interest of the child/children.
