Legalisation of a parent and child moving abroad and settlement of disputes about the place of children’s residence, taking into account the risk of illegal movement of the child abroad

The BGP Litigation team has unique experience in resolving disputes relating to children, including ones with a foreign element. The Family Law and Succession Planning Practice team is recognised on the market as one that handles such disputes systematically, professionally, successfully and regularly. The practice's cases become the subject of lectures, books and articles, form the basis of webinars and are widely publicised without personalisation of settlor data.

The practice has the advantage of a broad network of contacts in foreign jurisdictions, including the most exotic ones.

BGP Litigation offers comprehensive support for the matter, starting from the stage of planning a move or divorce from a foreign parent, including assessment and mitigation of risks of moving abroad with a child without the consent of the other parent, conducting negotiations (mediation agreements, notarial documents, amicable agreements in court), and ending with representation in courts of both a parent who moved with the child and a parent who left the child.
