Australia child relocation dispute: can the court stop a move?

Jez Smith4 October 2026

Yes. If parents cannot agree, the court can make parenting orders allowing or restricting relocation, including orders limiting how far a child’s residence can move from a school or area. The court focuses on the child’s best interests. Official source: Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/family-child-relocation-travel
