My wife has dropped it on me since coming back from Denmark the place we're she grew up and lived until 2010
We went as a family 3 of us, That she now has feelings for an old friend over there and seems to want to make a go of it although it seems he doesn't
If she goes back again on her own to try and make something of this should I let her take my daughter for the week?
And legally can she do this
As I'm new to this totally
Thanks chaps
How old is your daughter and how does she feel about it?
It doesn't sound the sort of thing which would be good for a child!
Assuming that there isn't Child Arrangements Order in place favouring your wife, and you have parental responsibility (you were married at time of birth or your name is on birth certificate as the father) it requires the permission of both parents to take the child abroad.
Without a court order in place, if you have Parental Responsibility, she does need your permission to take your child out of the country. If there is an order for contact in place, and the time she want to take the child away coincides with your specified contact time, again she would need your permission to take her, otherwise she would be in breach.
The reason for her trip does seem very vague and as it's not a family visit, but an attempt to rekindle an old friendship, which you think is one sided, it's not a good environment for your child... Does she have family there? Do you think she might not return?
If you are not giving permission, I would contact the passport office and telll them you have refused permission, tell her what you have done and state that if she wants to go that's fine, but she needs your permission to take your child, which you are not prepared to give in this instance.
It seems to have gone quite as am now just concentrating on my 3 year old daughter as my wife is so mixed up with everything
Am 41 and my wife's 24 we have been together for 5 years and married for just 1 year
She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 7 months ago but as I stated in my first post we went to Denmark on the 8th/13th June as that is were she lived for a big part of her life
It was nice to meet people she worked with and close friends
One particular guy is someone she work with who she went to see on her own on 2 evenings and this now is the person who she no says she has feelings for I myself met him....nice guy 4 year old daughter and he was 44 years old
But when we came back she's said that over there she felt fine in her self!
So am now not pushing her we are going to have a session at Ralate counciling this Saturday the 1st July as it's something she wanted to do and I'm fine with trying anything
This may all seem very strange to you chaps and I never thought I would be writing about it
The other main thing that does worry me ever more is that she's 17 weeks pregnant and that along is a hudge thing
I think relate will help, and if you are both wanting to do that, then that's a hurdle over already.
Thankyou to all...... Yes I'm hoping the Ralate session on Saturday will shed some light
But with her also being depressed and hormones with being pregnant am still not happy
I'm a person that's likes to work at any hurdles in life and this one is a big one
I love my wife with all my heart and soul and in time would love to move well on from this
