Hi I could do with some advice My Ex has stopped me seeing my daughter as I will not provide her with my address even though she has been allowing my daughter to stop at my un known address for over 8 years since my daughter was 15 mths old. Do I need to give her the address even though she has contact numbers and she receives txt msgs and photos of our daughter whilst in my care. In the 8 odd years my daughter has been visiting me no emergency or harm has ever come to her

I’d be asking why she wants it now when she’s not been bothered for the last 8yrs. Has all been going well between you and the ex….as in no contact issues, arguments, maintenance etc…?

If there’s no problem between you and her what’s the harm in her knowing? You’d want to know where your child was living when not with you wouldn’t you?

However……..The “untrusting of the ex” side of me would be asking all sorts of things that would make me sound quite paranoid….but with what I have been put through this last 4-½ yrs I have very good reasons not to trust my ex’s actions since we split up.

Maybe your ex is just being nosey or feels she probably ought to know where your child is when not with her, or may be you're over thinking things?

Hi there,

I would agree with the above, There could be many reasons for her suddenly wanting to know, it could be someone has asked her where you live and she has suddenly thought about the fact she didn't know, it could be her being nosey as already said.

I would agree though unless there is an exspress reason you don't want her to know what is the harm in her knowing?

Not unless there is a valid (legal) reason as to why the ex shouldn't have the address, I can't see
why she should not know where the child is.
I would certainly want to know where my child/children are staying or can be contacted in case
on an emergency.
Having said that, I find it amazing that you managed to keep your address hidden for so long,
What about your daughter? Surely she knows your address? Have you told her not to reveal it
to her mum?
Like I said, if there is a valid reason then fine, other than that, I think if it was me, I would want to know.

Take care
Kirsten

My partner has an injunction order in place and she doesn't want the address to be disclosed and she owns half of our house so I have to respect her wishes, my ex knows this as we went threw solicitors in 2007 to do with the same situation that I am currently in. We agreed that the address would be logged with her solicitor and in the event of an emergency she would b contacted so since 2007 there has been no further problems till now ... To do with the address anyway.
As she couldn't get her own way over a mth ago she decided to start giving me grief demanding my address etc and as I won't give it her she's stopped me seeing my daughter. I have offered the address to her new solicitor but she has refused.

For the 8yrs I have been split from her she's a very unreasonable person and it's her way or nothing I don't even trust her to have the address now. I have never known her address like she doesn't no mine when I collect my daughter she gets me to meet her at a service station 5 mins from her house but I have travelled 110miles to collect her as she said it's my duty and responsibility to collect and drop off my daughter. I asked her if she could meet me a few junctions down which was a 15mins journey instead of 5 and she said no.
She has plenty of contact numbers and receives more than enough txt msgs and photos of our daughter when she's in my care to show she is happy safe and well. And has always returned home the same.

She's allowed me to take my daughter to Spain Turkey and Disneyland America no questions asked.

The only reason she is being like this is cause she can't get her own way so she decides to play the power cards and abuse the power.
All take and no give

Crazy woman I don't understand how she can simply stop contact. The problem with these woman that have the children reside with them and we have simply "contact" which is a word I hate as we are meant to be equal parents however I do think sometimes these women use an old saying which is "pocession is 9/10ths of the law"

We had a court order in August it lasted till November when she simple tore it up and stuck 2 fingers up at the court. I think you need to try mediation first which didn't work with my ex and get back to court ASAP
