Hi everyone, I'm going to write a more detailed post on my situation, but I'm wondering if it's possible for me to go to my children's school and ask to see them to let them know that I miss them and I'm trying to sort it out. My ex-wife stopped me from seeing my children in February and I haven't seen them since. There's no court order in place currently but I have applied to court. Two of my children have additional needs and I'm really worried about what she's told them as to where I am. I just want to see them to tell them that everything will be okay and I am sorting everything out, and most important need to tell them that I miss them. From what I have read online on most sites, as long as I have parental responsibility I am able to see my children or take them from school. I'm not suggesting taking them from school, just asking the school to see them. The school are somewhat aware as to what's going on since I briefly spoke to them but I'm unaware what my ex-wife has told them since. Thank you to anyone who can help this.
hi,
it's rare but I have come across a few cases where a dad got in touch with school and school ended up mediating with mum and access was arranged. perhaps you can first discuss with the head teacher.
if you need any support going through courts, feel free to get in touch. sending you private message.
You are entitled to information on the children's progress - reports etc. You could start with that
