Hi all, again.
I've decided to apply for full time residence of my son. Mojo mentioned in my previous thread that I should look for a Prohibited Steps Order to prevent the mother from removing him from my care. If anyone has experience of this portion of the C1A (Section 5) I'd appreciate knowing how exactly I should word this part.
Also would like clarification on how to word what it is I'm asking - is it permanent residence, full-time residence, or something else?
Thanks for your time.
Just say that due to the serious risk of harm to xxxxx and as he has now been placed in your care, you are applying to vary the existing order so that it is recognised that he lives with you and a PSO to prevent xxxx from removing him from your care.
You should be very brief on the forms, it's advisable to prepare a brief position statement to take with you to the first hearing, giving a little background, your concerns and what you would like to happen.
You should be applying for an urgent order, you can also apply for a no notice, or ex parte order, which means she wouldn't be informed u til after the first hearing, however she will be given the chance to put her side of things to the court after the first hearing, if an interim order is made (which is highly likely)
