Understanding Prohibited Steps Orders
Prohibited steps orders (PSOs) are legal measures granted by UK courts to prevent a parent from removing a child from the care of the other parent and/or taking the child out of the country without the other parent’s consent. These orders are particularly useful when there is a concern that one parent may permanently relocate abroad with the child, making it difficult for the other parent to regain custody.
PSOs can be modified after being granted, provided all parties agree. They play a crucial role in safeguarding the child’s welfare and ensuring a balanced relationship with both parents.
