hi
i have a daughter that is getting continual greif from her mum . she is 6 and she lives with her mum. her mum is constantly shouting at her and taking her problems out on her. i mean she is nasty and spitful . she also brings her into our arguments (ones i rarely start) it breaks my heart when my girl tells me how nasty she is
i have her every weekend and one night in the week i am a very active father i take her to school wenever i can as i work for myself and have flexible hours
she loves being with me as i am chilled out . i dont mean a push over but not a raging bull like her mum, she would love to live with me as would i
it is never often a case to take a child from her mother but she is bringing no good to her mental state by being how she is
my main question is , how likely am i to win full resisdence as i truly feel i need to get her away from her
i have a good family but that doesnt stop me feeling so alone during this
thank you for reading
c ...
edit, i am in UK
Hi There,
Unfortuneately unless you can prove neglect or harm to the child residency for a Father is an uphill struggle. I know from experience.
Have you reported snything to SS?
The first step towards making things easier fro your daughter may ne writing her mother a letter explaining how your former partners behaviour is affecting your child or inviting your former to mediation to discuss the subject.
If you have any concerns you should also inform social services but dont expect them to be dynamic and jump in and help as they are to slow to catch a cold in my opinion.
Regards,
Dave
I know I'm probably stating the obvious and no doubt you already have but have you asked her for a little more contact? Maybe a couple of exta nights in the week? Is this something she might agree to?
