Relocation – How Far Can I Go?
Last week I spoke at a Legalwise Conference in Sydney on the subject "Relocation - How Far Can I Go?" which was very successful. Yesterday I appeared at the request of a solicitor, at a duty list, in a relocation case, due to the complexities of the case.

What are some … [Read more...]
