Episode 5 - Family Court - You Be The Judge: Can Mum Take The Child Abroad? Dad Says NO

A mother wants to take her child on a two-week holiday abroad. The father objects — not because he says the child is unsafe, and not because he fears abduction, but because the holiday clashes with his court-ordered time. So what should the family court do? Should the child get the holiday? Should dad’s court-ordered time come first? Or is there a middle-ground solution? In this episode of You Be The Judge, we look at a fictionalised family court scenario about holidays abroad, child arrangements orders, replacement time, and how the court may balance flexibility against respecting an existing order.
