My wife is filing for divorce after she had an affair which resulted in her mental health deterioration (not diagnosed as she doesn't think she needs help). She embarked on this spiritual journey, said she is a different person now, showing a complete lack of interest for our 3 children (only one minor, 8 yo). Initially said she needs to live on her own but now she wants to take the minor back to home country. I am concerned about her mental health, how the child will adapt to a new language and being 2000 miles away from me and his older brothers. She says the law is on her side and she has this right as a mother. My question is does she have an automatic right to take the child especially in her current state? Wouid social services get involved to interview the child and us? Thank you
hi,
if your in UK then the divorce/finances and child arrangements are largely treated as 2 separate issues. if you want courts to decide on child arrangements, then you need to act quick and put an application in for child arrangements. I don't think courts will like the idea of severing the kids relationships by her moving 1 abroad. if you need help with process, feel free to private message me.
