hi darren
thanku 🙂 my son and his gf split up when his daughter was 3 months old,and he always tried to maintain contact with his daughter but his ex gf made it very difficult,she always put conditions on him saying u can see her but only if u stay the night and things like this,my son then started a new relationship and things got even worse for him as his ex gf was very jealous even to the point of getting his current gf beaten up.
his ex gf made it harder for him to see his daughter,one minute saying he could see her then the nxt minute saying he couldnt,it was always on the ex gfs terms,and she always used her daughter as a weapon which made me sick,she made me ashamed to b a woman to be honest.
my son then ended up in prison and has just come out after serving just over a year and while he was inside his ex gf agreed to let him see his daughter when he came out,he was due to have her last week but at the last minute he was told he couldnt have her and wasnt ever going to be aloud to see her.
but the thing is that because his ex gf was taken into care when she was 12 she was uder social services still when she gave birth so autmatically the baby was also under social services.
since they split up i have had alot of concerns over my grandaughters well being,and a few days ago my son got a letter saying he had to attend a meeting on the 14th as they were not happy because hs ex gf did not appear to be meeting his daughters needs,so although this is obviously upsetting it means he can hopefully go all out to get full custody of his daughter,as we all think she should be here with us where we know she will be taken care of properly.
but because he has had a year out of his daughters life thru prison hes obviously very concerned over whats going to happen.
we found a solicitor today whos going to represent us and the meeting is next week (14th).
Hi and welcome
I'll move this into the legal section and ask our experts at the Children's Legal Centre to give an opinion, so keep checking back
Ah, had it pointed out to me that you already have a solicitor (I missed it completely) so unfortunately, the CCLC are unable to assist here, but hopefully your solicitor will be able to sort it out, and we can still answer questions from our experiences.
