A: When parents have a 50/50 custody arrangement, international travel with children may require mutual agreement or court approval. If there are no provisions addressing international travel, seeking your ex-partner's consent is advisable. If they do not agree, legal advice can help you understand your options and navigate any obstacles, including seeking court approval.
