FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I relocate with my child?

The answer depends on your specific situation. With joint parental authority, you generally need the other parent's agreement to relocate. If they refuse, a judge can authorize the relocation—particularly considering whether you are the primary caregiver. Without joint parental authority, the custodial parent typically has freedom to relocate. However, careful case-by-case evaluation is essential. The risks are significant because Switzerland, as a party to the Hague Convention, can readily engage international cooperation to return a child. This makes obtaining relocation authorization much more challenging in international cases.
