Out of curiosity, has anyone you know got back together following seperation and contested residency proceedings?

Well...one of my sons (I have 3) split up with the mother of his child but they had put the welfare of their child first
and foremost.
The two adults could barely speak to each when the child came to stay with my son but
It never got to the point where contact was an issue and after about 1year and a bit they got back together.
Do I take it the contested hearing bit is the one important factor in your question?
Hi Kirsten,
Yes, I wonder if anyone has been through the trauma of a contested hearing and all of the animosity that it brings and then got back together.
I would imagine that it is nigh on impossible for both parties to go through this and get back together but I wonder if this has happened.
Good news for your son and child that they got back together, I hope they are all happy and continue to be so.
Regards,
Dave
well, maybe I'm being cynical, but if it did happen, I'd be wondering whether it wasn't just a ruse to get into a better position for the next separation and residency.

This is what I have thought as well.
I guess where I was going with my thoughts was maybe one day my ex could work it out and she would get the psychiatric help that she seems to need and realise how good she had it and maybe we would live happily ever after.
I could never trust her again though and like you point out I would always wonder if she was setting me up again as she seems to have done at the moment.
I am still interested to know if anyone else has been through this and worked it out in the end but would imagine that not many if any have as the damage done is long lasting and permanant I would suggest.
Regards,
Dave
