Can my ex stop me moving 120 miles with my 11 year old son to live with my partner?

that depends on the terms of the access agreement.

I suggest you contact a solicitor who specialises in family law for advice,

I don't know the details of the break up but I wonder if Is it in your sons best interest to be so far from his dad, could your partner not relocate so you can stay closer to your ex or wait a few years until your son is old enough to travel to see his dad on his own. If your ex has to do a 120 mile trip to see his son he may find it difficult to maintain frequent contact or is that you or your new partners hope.


Hope you work things out

I would meet him half way every other weekend as long as my son wanted to. we also have a 17year old who doesnt speak to his dad.

if that meets the terms of his access then you can move...it all depends what you agreed

As long as it is within the boundaries of the UK you don't need the father's permission to move

As for an access agreement - as long as you keep it then you can move 400 miles away if you so choose

its the north east and im the north west of england. access agreement is every two weeks friday 7pm - sunday 7pm....doesnt see them at all during the week but watches football on the sunday in between. he texts sometimes but not always!
up until 4 years ago he was a great dad but things change and definilely have done in his case.

Personally, if he was seeing my child in the week as well as every weekend then I would choose not to move
However, as he only sees him every other w/end I would have no hesitation in moving.
He has no grounds to stop you anyway unless you wanted to move out of the UK, which you don't so I wish you a happy moving day!

Thanks for all your replies and opinions.
Think now I am going to go for it whatever he tries to do or threatens to do.
