Hi all,
My query is this....
I am separated and divorced from my ex. Access has been difficult at best, and stopping me seeing my son is the first thing she uses if she is angry or upset at any stage.
I have met a new partner, and she initially insisted that my 6 year old son was NEVER to meet my new partner. After a while we agreed he could meet my new partner and her daughter. Everything went great, but when I dropped him home, she insisted that she hadn't agreed to it, and wanted to be there too when he met her?!
Now, moving the fact aside as to whether it was agreed or not, I have parental responsability, and therefor I do not need her permission to introduce him? Is this correct?
She has now withdrawn ALL access except telephone contact, and quite frankly its killing me. I'm in contact with my solicitor about the situation, but as you all probably know, this can be a lengthly process.
My query is basically, was I in the wrong introducing him to my partner?? Was I legally entitled to do that? She now claims she will be getting advice from her solicitor about what I've done?
Thanks in advance
