Can separated parents take their children on holiday without the other parent's permission? What happens if an ex refuses to hand over a passport? And what are your legal rights when it comes to travelling abroad with your children after a separation?

In this episode of Law for Life, Chris Gregg is joined by Zoe Hail from Franklin Solicitors to answer the most common questions about child arrangements and holidays. They explain when consent is needed, how child arrangements orders affect travel, what to do if a parent refuses permission, and the legal options available if disputes arise.

Whether you're planning a summer holiday or simply want to understand your rights, this episode provides practical guidance to help separated parents navigate what can often be an emotional and challenging situation.

If you need advice on family law matters, the Family Law team at Franklin Solicitors is available to help.
