Hello all, i urgently need advice so please respond with any information you can if anybody has been through this.
Me and my partner seperated 6 years ago. 4 years ago, she moved herself and my child 3 hours away to be closer to her family.
She wanted me to move near to her so I was available to help with childcare so I got a job in the area she moved to so I was closer to my child but she said she was not comfortable with me being so close so I had to turn it down. Since then I had no luck getting a job close by.
I was finally able to move within 1 hour of her and my child in May this year but now she is telling me she has met somebody and is moving 2 hours away from me and taking my child away again. My child is settling in school and has made close friends.
Myself and my partner gave up well paid jobs to be closer to my child and both working here but living on the bread line.
Please offer any advise, not sure on my rights? Is she just allowed to move my child away from me again? Obviously this would mean I would not see my child as much and long car journeys, which is not good for my child now they are in school.
