If the child has two parents, both of the parents should address the question of moving to another country jointly. It also applies when:
Consent of the non-custodial parent to the relocation of their child to another country for permanent residence should be notarized.
If both parents do not reach an agreement, they have to apply to the court for a decision.
Both parents can prohibit their child’s right to leave the Russian Federation. To do so, the parent has to apply required documents to the migration unit of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation at the regional or district level. Prohibition can be set until the child becomes of age of adult or for a set period.
We advise you to check in advance if your child has such prohibition, even if you reached oral agreement with the other parent.

A parent who took a child abroad can be accused with “international child abduction” if the country where the minor was taken is a party to the 1980 Hague Convention and has accepted
the ratification of this Convention by the Russian Federation.
In this case, the parent who took the child will face a lawsuit on the territory of their new country of residence. The court may decide on the return of the child to the country of permanent residence.
