Background
When a parent is considering relocation, an application must be made, and the Court has to weigh and balance the children's best interests with the relocating parent's freedom of movement. This issue recently arose in the case of Kerson & Blake (2018) FamCAFC 215, in which the mother successfully appealed an order which provided that her children were to live with their father in Canberra should she relocate back to the United States of America.
