The Courts will always emphasis that a fair and reasonable outcome is achieved in regards to your circumstances.

You will need an emergency Court order to prevent your wife from relocating abroad. The Court will make a final decision about whether or not she can leave with your children. The Court will consider many factors which will include your existing relationship with your children and how this is likely to be affected if they move, as well as practical arrangements that your wife has put in place abroad relating to housing and schooling.
