Just like to say hi to everyone first and thanks to all involed in this site and sites alike!
I have a situation that i would like to discuss and i am not sure where to post for the best response so without outlining in to much detail i would like to give a very brief desciption of what i am worried about and hopfully get pointed in the right direction.
Ok so here goes, i have a 9 yr old daughter living with her mother, she comes to see me on weekends and most holidays but recently has become very sure that she is not happy and wants to come back and live with dad, we have a very good relationship and discuss many things openly. Some of these talks actually outline issues that boarderline kneglect in my opinion but i have been very reluctant to involve social services untill i am sure there are no other options.
I could go on but i understand this is not the right place and would really like a mod to point me in the right direction so i can get the best possible advice.
thanks in advance for any help offered
Regards Nick
I think the Legal Section would be a good place to start off.
i've no input i can give on this subjet but will certainly be keeping an eye on the answers as i'm not sure where my situation will end up in a few years time.
Hi Nick and welcome to the Forum 🙂
Unfortunately your situation is all too common, but I will be happy to discuss it with you further and share my experiences with you, so I'll look out for your post in the Legal Eagle section.

Thanks again
