This type of court application would ask the court for authority to remove the child from England and Wales for the purpose of the proposed holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We sometimes come across situations where one parent may seek to prevent the other taking their child on holiday, for instance, where they feel that the proposed holiday may not be in the best interests of the child for some particular reason. This may be, for example, because the holiday is proposed in school time or is to a high-risk destination. In these circumstances the concerned parent can make an application to the Family Court for a Prohibited Steps Order: an order preventing the proposed holiday from taking place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Whenever the Family Court is asked to consider an application dealing with children, the court\u2019s paramount consideration will be the child\u2019s welfare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Making a court application is an expensive, time-consuming process and it can often damage relations between parents, when they should be working together to best meet their child\u2019s needs. Court proceedings should always be viewed as a last resort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The sensible approach to division of school holidays is to try to agree these as soon as the holiday timetable for the school year is known. An approach to the other parent can then be made setting out suggestions for division of time for each holiday and highlighting any proposed holidays abroad. Full details of such holidays should be given including: destination, dates, accommodation address, telephone numbers, flight numbers etc. It is essential to parents that they are made aware of where their child is going on holiday in case of an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you are unable to reach agreement with the other parent then you should consult with a specialist family solicitor in order to discuss the best approach for making progress. The usual options are further negotiations via solicitors, mediation or court proceedings.<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.familylaw.co.uk\/news_and_comment\/separated-can-i-take-my-child-on-holiday-abroad\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/contact-us\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer-300x100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer-150x50.png 150w, https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In circumstances where one parent seeks permission from the other to take a child on holiday but permission is not forthcoming, then an application can be made to the Family Court for a Specific Issue Order.
