a go and see how your son deals with it. Find out the sleeping arrangements to make sure that your ex is within earshot if there is a problem. This may be good for your son providing that your concerns are addressed. Talk to your ex calmly and ask for some reassurances. Best Regards Harjit Q. If I was to leave my partner (not married) and move to another city in the UK with our baby, would I be violating the law? My child and I have Spanish nationalities, although I have been in the UK for over 15 years. A. Hi there No you would not be violating the law by moving to another city in England unless there is a court order preventing you from doing so. If your Partner has parental responsibility for your child (if his name is on the birth certificate and born after 1.12.2003 ) then you will need his consent to move aboard. Not having consent from him or the court is child abduction. Your Partner may apply to the court for an order to prevent you moving to another city in England or, apply for an order for you to return. The court can find your address from the authorities and summons you to court. Unless there is a risk of harm, you should try to discuss the move with him and agree on a contact arrangement because it is your child's right to maintain a relationship with father unless doing so
