Moving to sweden with your child, to be close to her father.

Question

Would you as a US mother allow the Swedish father of your US born child to move to Sweden with your child if you believe that your child wants to live in Sweden with her Swedish father.

Would you as a American mother be willing to move to Sweden with your US born child if your child wants to live in Sweden to be close to her Swedish father.

In both cases your child would probably be better provided for, because Sweden is a welfare state.

Answer 1

Well luckily she has both citizenships correct?  And if both parents are willing to make sacrifices, especially the mother in both situations it seems, it seems like the child will be well cared for and loved.  If that's what the child wants, it doesn't mean that's what's best for her, but if it's really been thought out and looked at, pro and conned to death, than I think it could work.  

Answer 2

I don't know how old the child is, but regardless, I would never let my child move away from me (assuming they are still underage).  I would either move with my child, or my child would stay with me.

Answer 3

I would NEVER allow my child to live in a country without me.

Whether or not I moved to another country for and with my child would depend on:

How much I liked the country and how interested I was in living somewhere different

My job and the possibility of continuing my career there

How much support and how much support I would be leaving behind

How old my child was, so how valid there wishes were

Personally, I think it would be great fun !

Good luck

Answer 4

Yes, I would want my child to be happy, and I would try living in Sweden.

All you can do is try.  If you don't like it move back to the states.  

Answer 5

This is a pretty big decision. But I would move to Sweden if it's easier to live there and so I could be close to my daughter.

Answer 6

Wow....

If the child is underage, I wouldnt let her/him move. The father of the child can come to the US and visit him/her and spend time together, and maybe also the child spend some time in Sweden-again depending on the age of the child.

I wouldnt move unless I had feelings for the child's father, If I didnt, I wouldnt at all.

Now Sweden is a great country with a lot of benefits, still I wouldnt let my kid be away from me like that.
