DD says because he has joint parental responsibility, he can. I don't know.
He has Apparently consulted a solicitor but quiet frankly we take everything he says with a pinch of salt !

How dreadful for you nina. Not wishing to pry, but have you talked to your daughter about it or did she just announce it? I despair of them sometimes, I really do. Mine included.

Can the father refuse to let his son move to Scotland?

When DD moved back here from Northern Ireland because her marriage broke up the DGSs father moved heaven and earth to prevent her bringing them but he had to give in eventually as he had no legal right to prevent her.

nina I can't begin to understand how you must feel, what an awful shock.
Has DD really thought this through?
Either way, it's going to be a very difficult time for you al.
((Hugs)) and hope things work out for the best x

DD's partner has been offered a job in Scotland. They currently live in the same town as me in Kent.
The plan was for her and DGC to move with him. The boy's father is emphatic that's not happening which surprised us as he's never been much of a father as some of you know.
DD has shocked DH and I by saying he can have residency sad I am ashamed of her that she would do this. The boy's cry every time he brings them back to her. She feels they will be happier with him than hundreds of miles away from him with her.

I've hesitated to post this, but need to 'get it of my chest' my dear friend, her Godmother is horrified too.
