Case No. ZC21P00327

73.As I have already set out above, the father has expressed different views at different times as to whether, in the event that relocation is permitted, he would consider moving to the USA himself. His case is put on the basis that he will not, although his oral evidence was slightly less unequivocal and he acknowledged that he would have to consider the position if the mother and children move to the USA. That he has decided that he will not move, but that should the case go against him, he would reflect again in the light of the changed factual matrix is, in my view, an entirely understandable position for the father to adopt. However, having heard his evidence and the submissions of his counsel I will conduct my analysis on the basis that, on the balance of probabilities, the father will not move to the USA whatever the outcome of this application.
