My baby mum is breaking up with me and we have 3 children although only 1 is mine we have a rented house but she wants to move out but no where to go! she is not very good with the baby she leaves me to do everything even if she is awake and there to do it she will wake me up to do it. I love my Son very much but today she has stormed off somewhere and i do not know where and if they are coming back i do not know what to do. she said i can not do anything about her taking him out i am on the birthcertf and have rights like she dose but she says i dont. I have a very supportive family that will help me through anything I just want to know do you think if i go to court i have a chance of winning custody?? please help :boohoo:
Hi and welcome
It's a tricky one to give an answer - yes you do have a chance to get residence, but if your son is still a baby, a court will more than likely say that he needs his mother at this stage, and the longer he's with your ex, the less likely a court to grant you a residence order unless there are welfare and safety concerns for your son. Unfortunately you have an additional problem in that your ex would almost certainly argue that the children should not be split up. I would say at this stage your options are to either involve social services, or to look at mediation.
