Hi guy I'm new to all this but need advise,
I have a new partner who is not in my childrens life and has never met them, she used to do cocain with her mates but has stopped and has stopped hanging around with those people. My ex partner has found out and has heard about her past and has now tried to stop me from seeing the kids and has said I can only see them if I end it with her, i know she technically can stop me as i have no court order in place but can she stop me because of her past? And what's the best action to take as i dont want to end it with her but most of all i dont want to lose my children. Thankyou
Hi,
Sounds like she's being very unreasonable. Only thing you can really do is take legal action if she stops you seeing the kids.
Without a court order in place, the mother can stop contact if she wishes.
If you're finding it difficult to deal with her over these issues, it's probably worth considering mediating with her. You would need to attempt this anyway if you ended up needing to make a court application.
