Issue:
Relocation application – Mother seeking to relocate interstate with children
Summary:
The mother applied to relocate from Brisbane to Perth with the two children (aged 8 and 11) for employment opportunities. The father opposed, arguing it would significantly reduce his time with the children.
The Court granted the relocation application, finding that the mother had a genuine employment opportunity and that the children would benefit from the improved financial circumstances. The father was granted extended school holiday time and the parties were ordered to share the cost of travel.
Outcome:
Relocation permitted. Father granted 50% school holidays plus additional long weekends via video calls.
