my wife and i seperated about 3 months ago, i usually have my son stay with me 3 nights a week. my wife has informed me she wants to move back to england because she doesn,t have any friends here,she has put in for a transfer from her work.all my family live close to us just now and take care if we are working . we both work nightshift.if my wife gets transfer ,she will have to ask a friend to watch our son,she is a stranger,my son has only met her once and also this woman is known to the police as she try to abscond to thailand with her own son.i am very upset as you can imagine as i dont earn that much money and cant afford to travel down south every other week.i have spoken to someone about this and was told to take out an interdict, so she cant go,but she will fight this ,so this brings me to my question,what are my chances of stopping her taking my son away?
Hi
Im presuming you are on the birth certificate as you are married. I think after only 3 months she is being very hasty in wanting to move away, is there any chance she wants you back and is saying this to push you a bit.
If she is serious I would go and have a free chat with a solicitor pretty quick, I know you can go to court and stop her but that couldd be just a short term thing.
How old is your son ?
A friend of mine took his son to live in Scotland, he was stopped at first by his ex but then his son who was 9 at the time told the court he wanted to live with his dad so he was allowed to go but he had to take him back once a month and holidays.
As you are in Scotland, the CCLC can't advise, so have a word with the Scottish Child Law Centre - www.sclc.org.uk to see if they can help.
If this woman is known to the police, it's possible she's known to the social services, so worth having a chat with them also.
my son is only 4 yrs old ,he is too young to decide for himself. i cant believe they would actually let her take my son ,and leave him with virtual strangers while she goes out working
