Hi,
My son has been taken to Southern Ireland by his mother, originally I agree to this as she promised contact and she would fly him back for holidays etc.
Obviously she has not kept to her word and now told me to get a lawyer.
I've contacted Reunite and filed abduction papers, but I have to apply for legal aid in Ireland ! Maybe I've a little naive but I thought she had abducted a child but I have to fork out for lawyers now?
I doubt I stand anychance of getting legal aid, as I wouldn't here.
Any advice?
Call the police as it’s abduction without your written permission , so long as you have parental responsibility
