Summary
A mother applied to relocate her 12-year-old son from Singapore to the United Kingdom to attend a boarding school, with neither parent accompanying the child overseas. The father opposed the application, arguing the child was too young to live abroad without parental presence. The Family Court dismissed the application, finding the risks to the child's emotional security and developmental need for day-to-day parental presence outweighed the educational and experiential benefits of boarding school at his age.
