Relocation

Global mobility created cross-border families, leading to court applications deciding whether parents may relocate children to their home countries.

Family Relocation Legal Applications

During the boom times people flocked from all over the world to live and work in Ireland and the Irish travelled extensively thanks to low-cost airlines and the shrinking of the global village.

International Relocation and Child Custody

Relationships were formed between people from different jurisdictions and cultural backgrounds and people settle down and had families often far from home. Inevitably, some of these relationships broke down leaving the couple with the dilemma when one or the other wished to return to their place of origin. Applications before court to determine whether or not a parent should be allowed to travel with the children to set up home in their place of origin have become more and more frequent. These applications are made in the District Court or the Circuit Court.
