So my ex plans moving 125miles away with a man she has known 6 weeks, taking my 8 year old son who suffers with ASD with her. At the moment he has a good support network, weekly contact with me, her family weekly, my family every 2 weeks;
1-1 at school, because his development is below what it should be. He has friends at school, and has progressed well in school.
When he moves there will only be his mother that he knows.
Children with ASD like routine, no change, things have to be stable, they need to feel safe and happy. Moving him will effect his emotional and mental health.
Does anyone know what i should do?
Thanks in advance.
You could consider submitting a prohibited steps order to the court to prevent your son being moved.
As there appears to be valid reason for preventing the move you can request that the judge consider this and prevent it from happening.

I am sure others will post also and offer further advice and guidance.

Hello,
So your ex wants to take your son out of jurisdiction? She would have to have a good reason for this and based on your sinario. And a relationship of only 6wks would not, I think, do.
You will have to be quick here as, if your ex makes the move, the court would be reluctant indeed to bring them back.
If it were me I would forego the FM1 Mediation For and get your C100 to the court asap. Once in court I believe you would get your Prohibtive Steps. However, who can tell as each case and I'm affraid each judge is different.

I think taking into account your child's special needs the court would give this serious consideration and you would have a good chance of preventing this with a PSO. If she is planning this imminently then you can apply for an emergency PSO..You would do this by filling in the form C100 and taking it in person to the court with the fee which is £200, tell them that you are applying for an emergency PSO and they will arrange for your case to be heard very quickly.
In certain circumstances an exemption from court fees is granted and this can be claimed using form EX160a
