[Solved] Taking my child

hi,

i think you should look at taking the legal route. apply for a child arrangements order (c100 form). then courts social workers (cafcass will get involved). you could tell them you want child transferred to your care and give all the reasons, and they will decide what action to take.

you would need to have a call with a mediator, which cost about £100. they would need to give you permission to apply to court. the c100 form costs £215 to submit.

how old is your daughter? does she spend weekends with you?

Yes tbink im going to have to look into the legal route.
Shes 10 months no the only way I could see her was to pretend to play happy families with her mother witch I can no longer maintain i need to do something fast her mother wants a residency order but I've been told she has no grounds on witch to obtain one

Unfortunately until your child reaches the age of 2 its best to play along with your ex and get whatever access you can.
If it goes to family court before they are 2 they normally act on the err of caution and you can end up supervised or 4-6 hours a week. Some dads that have secured a lot more access achieved that because mum had put their child in nursery. A dad outranks a nursery as in if you are available courts will give you midweek contact.
If it went to family court your ex would get residency more than likely .

good points. if it went to court now its likely your ex will automatically get residency. the motherly bias is still there.

how often are you seeing your child, and for how long?

Hi i see her whenever I can really she moved miles away so its hard but got all contact cut today.

Going to court i think is my only option however things should be slightly in my favour as she has a very bad socail record inc kids names being placed on the protection register. However she knows the socail system very well and plays it heavily to her advantage witch is no good for me but socail did say that they would not side with her in court if it got that far and as there are protection issues in play the courts would look to minimise the risk witch would be placing my daughter with me perhaps im just being optimistic but I've flew through every check socail threw my way and have track record of 50/50 custody of my son completely mutually agreed without need for court. She also has very bad mental health wiych isnt controlled very well so hoping that works for me as well

ok. if she's not letting you see child now, then you should take legal route. you could politely ask her what she wants, to let contact resume or would she prefer going to court?
