Re: overseas

You have parental responsibility for your children and the consequence of this is that if your former wife intends to remove them from the jurisdiction of the UK court she must first obtain either your consent or the consent ofthe court. If it appears that she is not intending to do this and you believe that it is in the children's best interests toemain in the UK, you should immediately apply to a court for a prohibited steps order which will prevent her from removing the children.

If we can assist with this sort or advise further, please let me know..
