When a parent wants to relocate with a child — whether to another county or another country — it can significantly affect existing custody and visitation arrangements. In Kenya, such moves require legal consent from the other parent or approval from the court, especially if there’s a court order in place.
Nkatha and Company Advocates provides guidance in:
- Applying for court permission to relocate with a child
- Objecting to or preventing the unauthorised removal of a child from the jurisdiction
- Negotiating and drafting relocation agreements
- Seeking injunctions or return orders if a child has been moved without consent
- Advising on international relocation under family law and immigration considerations
- Addressing cross-border custody, education, and support issues
Courts assess relocation requests based on the best interests of the child, including educational opportunities, emotional ties, safety, and the impact on the relationship with the non-relocating parent.
Whether you’re seeking to move or trying to prevent an unjustified relocation, Nkatha Advocates will represent your rights firmly and thoughtfully — always with the child’s welfare at the centre.
