Hi guys!
Just wondering if someone can answer a question for me please? My bf wants to apply for PR. He has twin 13 yr old girls and he didn't know he could get or until we saw a solicitor recently about the ex wanting to move the kids to a Scottish isle.
He's asked her to sign the forms and she refused so he wants to apply for a court order. The ex has told the kids he may take her to court and the autistic girl is now panicking mummy will be taken to court. I was under the impression this wasn't something that needed attending at court? He's always paid child maintenance and seen the children as often as possible.
Thanks guys☺️ one very stressed gf!
Hi,
Is he on the Birth certificate?? ,if he is not then he will need to make an application to court. To apply for PR you need to fill in and send a C1 or C100 form(not 100% sure which one, both i think), the court usually gives PR to a non custodial parent no problem, unless there are certain circumstances.
You mention she is moving to a Scottish Isle, i used to live on the Shetlands and Scotland have a few different rules etc, they use sheriffs in these sort of cases. You also mentioned he has always paid his "CSA"...Paying your CSA makes no difference to the court what so ever, they will never get involved with it and you can not get any leverage with it either, but having constant contact with the children will go a long way and will give a seriously good foundation to his case
I hope that helps
Paul
