Lol, I am Buz but first and foremost I'm a Hibby which brings me to my next problem, I'm Scottish and so do not qualify for advice from the Childrens Legal Centre, always a hurdle, lol

I'm not with you mate but for the record I'm astounded at the amount of time you've put in and for that I'm truly thankful
Mate ur worth it!
Ur first post just grabbed my attention - u sound like a great dad having a hard time, and let's face it, that's why I love this forum - chattin to blokes like u
My prev post was just suggesting you travel south of the border so you qualified for the free advice!!
No worries, you seem to have a great handle on what to do next - hopin we can give u some support and encouragement to press on in this season.
Keep us posted
Buzz
No worries mate and thanks for the support
Ok Fisher no problems - Scotland have their own version of the Coram Childrens Legal Centre. 8)
They are called The Scottish Child Law Centre their website is here and their telephone number is 0131 667 6333.
Just pop back and tell us what they say mate.
Gooner
Thanks for the number Gooner, I've since been in contact with them and spoke to a trainee lawyer who was very helpful. He suggested I go for parental rights firstly as because of my sons age I have none at the moment. He doesn't envisage any problems on me being granted the rights as I've had constant contact with him. He seemed to understand the situation and suggested a few options one being my son filling a form in, in privacy, stating that he's happy staying with either parent and how some of the issues are effecting him and what can be done to resolve them. This can then be shown to the court and the contents taken into consideration.
I'm getting called back next week from someone more qualified and I'll post the outcome after I talk with them.
