How can I stop my ex-partner moving with my child?

How can I stop my ex partner moving to another area in the UK with my child?

If a parent is going to move to another area within the UK and take the child with them, that parent does not need the consent of anyone else with parental responsibility. If the other parent does not want the child to move, then they can apply to the courts for a prohibited steps order, and ask the court if it will prevent the parent from moving with the child.
