moving to other side of country with son

[ConfusedMum]

was wondering if anybody could give me any advice about moving to the other side of the country.

i split up with my 2year old sons father around 8 months ago, reasons mainly because he was lazy and just lacked that desire to be/do more in life, he was such a plain boring person and on top of that we'd lost our sparkle. i have been with my new partner since i split up with ex partner. me and new partner have been on about moving to other side of country or another country altogether since we first met - we are both fed up with this area and the same old faces and jobs etc etc and just the built upness. we want more from life, we want a new start for all 3 of us - better jobs, cleaner air etc etc, with a bit more green to see. maybe not permanently but for a short while atleast.

i know it is illegal to take children to another country without parents permission for longer than 28days (i think thats the right amount anyway) - after todays shenanigans (SP?*) i'm pretty certain in thinking that ex wouldn't give permission. so what i was wondering is if ex partner has any legal rights to stop us moving to another side of country? the reason i'm asking is we are almost ready to sign contracts on a brand new house, but we can still pull out and we wouldn't loose anything. we can't stop thinking that there's more to life than what's here and of course wanting more for son than just this what feels like a dead end existence (SP?*). we need to make our decision soon,but of course we don't want to loose out on our brand new house if we can legally be bound to stay where we are.

of course, there would be no problem ex coming to see son and spending time with him. son has never really stayed with ex (long story) so him visting whenever he isn't drinking or with his new girlfriend wouldn't be any different to how it is where we live right now.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.thank you.

There is no legal reason why you should not move.

Although there are moral reasons.

I agree with flip flop! Of course you may move but if you are in reciept of csa money i think that ex may be intitled to 'special expenses' for the cost of travel. I do think that you must think of the fathers relationship as well as your own. I wish you well and hope your final decision takes everyones happiness into consideration
