Hi me and my ex split at Christmas, she moved out and left my son with me, for 3 and half months, I carried on as normal with his pre school and nursery, she then made a rota for days we would have him, so I agreed to her idea, she kept letting my son down and breaching her own terms. Then this covid 19 epidemic started. She said either I kept him or she kept him for 20 weeks. I could not deal with not having him home so I kept him, kept FaceTimeing her a few times every day , after a couple of weeks he was wanting to see her so I sent the government guildlines allowing separated parents to still see there children.
She agreed to have him for 3 days at her dads 3 mile away from his home . She didn’t ring or answer to me in them days then I FaceTimed her on the 5 day and he was crying wanting to come home, I asked where he was and he said he didn’t know. Then she said I’m at my sisters and she’s moved. Her mums family all live in Sheffield/ Rotherham he’s about 50 miles away from home. None of her family will tell me where my son is I’ve only spoken to him a handful of times, it will be 5 weeks away from home on Tuesday.
It’s absolutely killing me I want my boy home what can I do, any advice will be most appreciated.
hi,
I know how you feel. similar madness happened to me, her and her family would not tell me where the kids were staying. Only option I could take was go to court.
what she has done could be classed as abduction.
you could try reach out to your ex and find out when you will have your child back. if nothing happens then I think you need to take the legal route. you can politely tell her that if this matter is not resolved, you will be taking legal action. give her time to reply.
