Care of son in case I die
(cheery eh? lol)
I have been away from my (frankly mental) violent ex for 9 years, our son is now 11 and hasnt even seen him for years, thank God.
What can I do to make sure that,if God forbid, anything happened to me my son would go to my mum or sister and not his father?
Would a will be enough?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.A will can still be contested, but of course at 11 your son is able to make his wishes known, and the courts always place paramount importance on this - 'the welfare of the child'.
So, with a will naming a suitable legal guardian and your son's ability to categorically state that he hasn't seen his father for x years and doesn't want to, that will be enough.
