Child relation with the person relocating
Checks out the relationship between the child and the person who is relocating with the child and checks whether the relocating person is actually the parent of the child or not. It also considers the strength and the nature of the relationship between the child and the important person in the child’s life.
Benefits of the child: The court also considers the benefits that the child get when he/she is relocated with the parent. If the child is able to get any additional benefits over the native place then, there will be a chance of approving the relocation orders by court.
Preferences of the children: This is an essential point to be noted and the court gives more importance to this factor.
