Can the parent of a convicted offender, take the child to live in Australia, whilst refusing contact with the child's Dad?

This isn't my situation. It's a general query.

Apologies. Doesnt make sense. Can the parent, of a child whose Dad is convicted of iioc, take their shared child, to live in Australia? The parent doesn't allow contact at present at all. Convicted offender does share PR.

Hi Partner

I wonder whether that would be one for the courts to decide? I know an ex neighbour many years ago was going, jobs sorted etc and then the ex took it to court and the judge said no. Having said that they was no offences to take into consideration and he had the child regularly.

I think a court would act in what they saw as the best interests of the child, maybe worth getting some legal advice or CAB

Thank you.

It's not me whose doing this. But he's not been allowed to see his children since he was questioned. And that's destroyed him. I'm there for him but it seems that this fact is almost being taken out on me. And it's nothing to do with me whatsoever. I understand he's going through a traumatic time in his life, I really do. I support and believe in him. But I'm getting fed up now of getting the grief. My thoughts and feelings throughout all of this are not taken into account. Does anyone else get this? He won't discuss it. Won't get legal advice and won't let me help.

The problem is until he admits it to himself and wants help the chances of him telling you everything is probably quite remote.

He's being unfair taking things out on you but I do think people have a tendency to do that, whatever the situation, to those they are comfortable with our feel safe with.

Perhaps you need to speak with him and explain how you feel.



Good luck

Thanks Tracey,

I do want to support him. We are no longer together but I am there for him. You are right, we do take things out on those we are close too. Thinking about it, I do too. Such a rollercoaster this ride. I hope things are going ok (as they can be), with you xx
