What happens when one parent wants to relocate a child across borders - from Cape Town to Sydney, or Johannesburg to France?
In this case study, Cape Town family lawyer Simon Dippenaar unpacks one of South Africa’s most complex custody disputes: R.H. v N.M. (2024 ZAWCHC 77).
⚖️ What you’ll learn:
• The facts behind R.H. v N.M. and the father’s relocation bid to Australia
• How the High Court balanced competing parental plans across three continents
• The role of Section 7 of the Children’s Act and the “best interests of the child” standard
• Why expert evidence (psychologists, family advocates, educators) is critical in international custody cases
• How similar cases (T.R. v S.M. in Johannesburg) show a trend in South African courts
💡 Key Insight:
Relocation petitions are never just paperwork - they are strategic battles requiring evidence, planning, and a clear child-centred framework.
