my ex partner who i have two children to(i have p/r) has had an allegation made against her which is being investigated at the moment(i cannot go into specifics for obvious reasons.) and has had the the children put into the care of the grandparents as i live with friends.i'm currently trying to get my own place.so my question is this.when i've secured my own place is ther any reason why that my children couldn't come and live with me instead of the grandparents.i am hoping to see my solicitor on monday but any advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks
Hi Moggsy
Welcome to Dadtalk
I think your solicitor should be able to answer this better than me especially as I dont have all of the facts, however the most important thing to remember is the welfare of the children.
If you can provide them the security of a loving home and some stability then there is no reason why you can t have custody.
However remember that they have been messed about quite a lot recently and their grandparents will also claim to give them this security.
Think about - how will you look after them? what about work? Can you afford to have them with you?
Good luck
Hi Moggsy
Are Childrens Services involved at the moment? If so, speak to them and make them aware of your wishes - if they aren't involved, do you consider that they should be? If so, again, have a word with them.
