Hi all, Just a quick one for now. I have an agreement in place with my ex for access to my son, no courts or anything involved.
I recently met a new partner and took my son to stay over. My ex wasn't happy about this and is demanding I provide the address of my new partner so "she knows where he is when he's with me"
Do I HAVE to give her this? Furthermore do I have to inform her of every location I take him when I have him, and if so, does she have to do the same for me if i demand it?
Nope , you aren’t under any obligation
Following on : if you don’t have a residence order or any child arrangement order that says you are permitted to leave the uk with your children then technically you need written permission from the ex or court approval if the ex denies it .
you dont have to give address. but might be better to keep the peace and stop her acting psycho.
Thanks all, very helpful.
She'snever normally got an issue about me taking him on holiday etc, but for some reason she's quite funny about things when I've met someone new. This one has lasted a lot longer and so I've introduced my son and now the ex has asked for her address.
Just seems like pettiness to me which is why I'd rather say no if I have no legal obligation to do so.
Thanks again all, appreciate the feedback.
