[Solved] Ex working as escort?

Do you mean you think she is a prostitute? Even then I doubt it is grounds to involve the social services unless you think your children are being neglected or abused. Bizarre world we live in, isn't it?

I don't think she's on street corners as it were but I have evidence to suggest she is or has recently been engaged in escorting activities. Was hoping it might make her an unfit mother and improve my chances....

I see your point, but however unsavory it might seem, she is probably not doing anything illegal, so it may not help your case. I'm sure you are concerned for the welfare of your children, but I can't help thinking this would be very difficult for you to prove, and even then it may not be deemed relevant by the CAFCASS ladies.

If you think this is leading to your children being neglected or abused then of course it is most relevant, but it would be very difficult to prove anything unless your children complain. To this end I'd forge the strongest links you are able to with your children so you are able to protect them should the need arise.

Good fortune,

Unless she is putting the children at direct risk, taking clients home for example , or leaving them home alone, I doubt there's much you can do about it.

Prostitution is illegal in this country, but i would think many prostitutes are single parents.

If you don't have concrete proof of her activities, it would be very difficult to prove.

Hi There,
.
I agree with Mojo, unless you can prove 100% she is selling herself (sexually) rather than just escorting guys out I don't think it would help you, from watching TV programs (not my own experiences please note Lol) I know that many escorts get around the law by saying that they have only charged for the evening and that they slept with the client without payment becuase they wanted too as then they haven't broken the law. Not sure how that would hold up in court though.
.
If however you can prove differently, and that she has either left the children or has had clients at home when the children have been there as Mojo says that would be different.

Prostitution isn't actually illegal in the UK, it's activities surrounding it that are generally illegal

What an interesting article ACTD, to go off on a tangent for a moment prostitution is much more widespread that it appears, this is from the article (perhaps derived from HMRC's tax records?):

'There were 60,879 prostitutes in the UK in 2009, who had an average of 25 clients per week - each paying on average £67.16 per visit'

This works out as £80.580 PA (assuming 4 weeks holiday per year), with (I am guessing) quite low business overheads.

Getting back to anonuser's issue, I don't think this could be used against his ex-wife, as long as the children are not being put at risk because of it (unsavory as it is).

O

In Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), prostitution itself (the exchange of sexual services for money) is legal, but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes.

I stand corrected! With all of the activities surrounding it being illegal, it must be quite difficult to be a prostitute and not break the law!

Of course, the implications for your children emotionally, if when they are older they were to find out what their mother did, is another matter.

You are so right Mojo,
It is well beyond my comprehension that our society can see it this way: that a mother involved in prostitution (or the supply of drugs in another thread on these pages) could be considered a more suitable parent than a father simply because she is a woman.
Best wishes,
O
