Has a biological parent got any right or say if the other parents partner puts the child in public videos, like. music videos or other social media posts?
have been searching for an answer. seems like if one parent allows partner to make child's images go public, then its ok. depends in what manner it's done. read one case where a parent consulted a solicitor about it. The solicitor just wrote a letter to other parent, advising them to keep images private.
your going through court at the moment. this is a concern that you can ask to be written into the order. Try to stay focused on securing regular contact with your child, and do not be sidetracked by actions of your ex and their partner.
Thank you so much for the reply, appreciate it!
you haven't said if you are objecting to your ex sharing images / videos or if she is objecting to you doing it.
As has been said, if you're currently going through court, it's best not to share things & if it's her doing it, you can mention it at the hearing.
I was not allowed when I was seeing them and ex is not sharing them either, it is her new partner that is sharing them all over the internet, which, I do object if I have a say?
Unfortunately theres nothing you can do about it. This is something that happens all the time on social media etc
Thats what I thought, but wanted to see if anyone else had any other advice on that, as the child is not even old enough to consent to their image online in the public eye
when your next in court, you could ask them to get your ex to stop letting her partner post child images online. I don't think they will see this as a major issue. You can complain to Cafcass about it if their still involved in your case.
you could contact NSPCC for advice https://www.nspcc.org.uk/
you would be surprised at the court's view on social media image sharing. I've often seen judges get very cross on this matter and tell parties to stop posting and sharing so it is definitely worth mentioning at the hearing and seeing what the court says.
