Ask a solicitor: I don't want to sell the farm and move to Scotland so what will happen to my children?
My life is in Ireland, and on the farm. My partner has suggested that when the transfer has been done, I could sell the farm, and we could move to Scotland. I don’t want to do this.
Can you please help me with some advice about my children? My partner and I have been together for about 12 years and have two daughters aged eight and six. We have lived together since my partner was about five months pregnant with our eldest girl, but we have never married. The girls have both of our surnames, and my name is on their birth certificates. My partner is from Scotland originally, but came to Ireland years ago to study and has stayed here since. She goes back to Edinburgh often to see her family and takes the girls with her. I have no issues with this, as they have lots of cousins there that they love spending time with.
