Thanks for joining us on the forum – glad to have you here. You are welcome to post 24/7 but please note that whilst we have forum moderators we will only be moderating the forum during office hours. If though you need urgent crisis help, please contact Samaritans on 116 123.
Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.

I'm really new too this kind of stuff. I'm really not an individual who looks for help, but I'm lost I'm currently living with the mother of my child we are not married we constantly have problems communicating and it results in a full blown argument. When we were in the hospital and she was asked who was the father she planly said that he wasn't present (I was fast asleep in the couch since I had been up all night taking care of the baby) so now I have no parental rights and my daughter does not have my last name either. I was too leave my baby momma since this relationship is toxic but I'm afraid she would not let me see my child if I do, since she's said it occasionally. I need help, I don't know what too do!
Hi There,
.
If you leave your partner and she does go through with her threats of not letting you see your child then you would firstly need to try mediation, where a 3rd party would try and help the 2 of you communicate and work out a solution, if your ex won't attend or you can't work anything out then the mediator would sign the C100 form that you would need to use to apply to the courts for help, on this form I'm 99% certain you are able to specify that you require to have PR so that that can be dealt with while attending, If you do have to go through court and end up sending in the C100 then ensure you ask for an interim order to be considered at the 1st hearing so that you get too see your child as soon as possible as some judges won't make an interim order unless asked for in the application.
.
We can support you through all of this and help with advice and guidence so if you do end up in court you can represent yourself without the need for solicitors.

Have you considered some couples councelling to try and resolve the issues you have and save the relationship?
