Hello,
I moved interstate for 12 months with my 10 year old son and partner for a sea change with permission from my son's father. My son has had infrequent contact with his father since he was 1 year old.
Due to medical and mental health issues with my son, we would like to stay interstate for another 12 months as also recommended by his psychologist. My son does not want to go home. I have offered to pay to send him home for every school holiday to stay with his father even though my son is refusing to stay overnight. This would equate to more than the 18 nights he choose to have him last year when we lived in the same state.
Do I have any rights or do I need to go home?

you can stay where you are... Unless there is a court order that states differently.
