The parents: as an international couple
The parents: as an international couple
It is also clear that the parents have lived in recent years an international lifestyle. The child has, by association, also done so during her short life to date. The above-mentioned schedule of her movements is reflective of this point and is an important overarching feature of this case.
It follows from the above schedule that each parent has significant experience of living in the other parent’s country of origin. This case is therefore to be distinguished from those cases where one parent has met the other parent in this country but has gained no personal experience of the other parent’s country.
