IMO there's nothing that you can do until the child is born and as has been said, she might come round before the birth.
If not then you would apply to the court for Parental Responsibility and as you were doing that you could also apply for an order for contact. Mediation is now compulsory before court action and so that would be your first port of call. If that fails then the mediator would sign the C100 form off and you would also need to submit form C1 for PR.
For now I would concentrate on the children that are here, let the expectant ex know that you are there for her and the baby and that you would like to support her through the birth, but don't push it, let her have some time to think about it ...you have time.
Thanks mate... she has not a thing on me cos not a thing went on apart from two people not right for each other so if she wants to take me down that road .. then i know a lot will depend on the sheriff who would hopefully be wise to such tactics !
thanks 😉
Thankyou nannyjane !! 😉
Ive just found out that my recent ex who is pregnant with my child has now befriended the mother of my kids ( who im currently involved in a courtcase to see my kids ) on facebook ... and that they have prob been in contact for weeks !
Im totally stunned ny this and the sense of betral from my ex who is pregnant with my child to now go to the mother of my kids and to no doubt swap stories and info about me is overwhelming !
After the pain my ex seen that i was going through fighting to see my kids and how she was on my side and hated my ex for what she was doing .... Then to now contact her and talk about me ... has pretty much destroyed my faith in ever tusting a future partner ever again !
My ex knows i want to be involved in this unborn babies life and yet to go and stab me in the back like this is horrible ... and im now even thinking somehow she will team up forces with the mother of my kids to somehow take all my kids from me ... born and unborn !
fighting father, I see you said sheriff which suggests to me your in Scotland? Mediation is not compulsory in Scotland. That's good tbh as you can offer it if you want and if not take her to court.
Ohhh really broken dad .... you mean i can go right to a lawyer and tell them i would rather just take my ex to court ?
Yes im in scotland !
ill pm you mate
Oh didnt realise! Brokendad is right, the rules in Scotland are slightly different. Legal Aid is still available in Scotland for family law cases where the parties meet the criteria....in receipt of benefits or on a low income.
