Hello,
Long story short, I am in miidle of child custody battle. Recently I have learnt from a friend that my ex has reduced my daughters nursery days and she has been looked after by my ex's uncle, while she is out working late and partying. My issue is two folds, firstly she claims she is taking care of my daughter full time and she is not agreeing for overnight arrangement, saying my child needs consistency. If she taking care, what's the need of her uncle ?
I do not know much about her uncle, but what I know of him, he is unstable and may have some mental issues.
Is it wise to contact social service or Caffcass to check upon ?
Thanks,
Rob.
Caring for your daughter can include the wider family helping out so that in itself isn't necessarily something that is going to help, though it may form part of a atter of behaviour to reduce your contact. As for contacting social services, it would depend on what information you could give them that might spur them into action, so you'd have to have something reasonably concrete, though there's nothing to stop you having a word just to get their advice.
I agree with actd...you could bring it up in court, voice your concern and ask to be the first consideration when your ex is going out.
Thanks very much actd & Nannyjane. If I raise it in the court, she might just say that he is not involved in my daughters care. I am not sure how to go about collecting any evidence.
Could you call round when you know she is out?
Hi Mojo,
Do you mean call SS, when she is out ?
No I meant you call round, that way you could see who the child is left with....just a thought.
Be careful because social workers are man hating feminazis. At least some are. At least my one is
