Family law

[Tribal-T]

Im a father who is currently going through a seperation and my now ex partner is planning on taking my child up north with her making it near enough impossible for me to see him if this happens as i dont drive what rights if any do i have as a father to try and block this move from happening

[donna74]

you cant stop her as long as she does not take the child out of the county you can still see your child and vise visa...

you could get a train ?

[Tribal-T]

financially taking a train is not really a viable solution if funds permitted of course also because of lies that have been spread im not welcome up there which doesnt help the cause either im not gonna take a 2 year old on a 6 hour round trip thats ridiculous

[tamborine]

U have no rights - penalty of not committing.

Earn more as CSA will be in touch.

Sorry to say life is unfair�

My brother in law little girl lives now in Scotland after his ex wife moved there to be with her new husband

And he lives in the midlands he has to fly up there get his daughter then fly back that�s the only way he can see her .

oh yeah C S A will not help

Were you married?
Is your name on the birth cert?

Can you not get a solicitor involved?

Does she drive? Is she willing to meet you half way perhaps? There are holidays and weekends - you devote what work time you get off to your son and you will see him more often than you think

It's unlikely you will be able to stop her moving up North BUT if your name is on the cert you do have rights.
You're right, a 2 yr old cannot travel 3 hours there and then go back again the same day - but you can. Move hell and high water to see your son for your son's sake not your own

[ummmm]

He does have rights tamborine. That changed in 2003 I think.

I don't think you can stop her moving but you could go to court and get proper visitation rights. Holidays etc...!!

[Tribal-T]

I know the law changed in 2003 regarding parental rights and I am on the brth certificate soI realise I have some say in what is going on im just mainly concerned about the distance she will be going at it is only out of spite no other reason I thought maybe there was reasonable steps that could be taken

[baileybird]

apply for joint custody or sole custody and keep the child with you!?
