Good, an application in a case will usually be heard ahead of the next mention. It'll give you an opportunity to get interim orders in place so that you can spend some time, at least, with the child.
Don't place too much weight on the child being 'settled'. Being settled has limited applicability if it means having next to no contact with a parent. The court considers the relationship between parent and child of utmost importance - more important than 'being settled' when you didn't consent to the relocation. Have a read of this case: Attrill & Lippman [2015] FCCA 551 (20 March 2015). It's not a relocation case, but it does give an idea of how petty the argument of 'settlement' and 'routine' is when the child's relationship with a parent is at risk.
