Hi,
Just come across this site and joined up a short while ago. Looking forward to getting to know others that want what's best for their kids and have advice to share based on past experience and perhaps some law knowledge too.
As for my own circumstances I have a little one with my ex and usually see him one day a week (obtained through mediation). We hardly communicate and all effort to stay in his life seems to come from my efforts. I feel as though I am missing out on so much of his development and treated like an unwanted inconvenience.
He has two other older siblings and the Mother has always made it clear she does not want the kids being split up. In fact I believe should something happen to her, then her Mother has legal responsibility for all the kids. Essentially it feels like there is no need to keep things amicable with me...other than trying to avoid me pursuing any further legal action.
If others can relate to some of that, it would be great to hear from you π
thanks
Hi There,

Welcome to the forum, feel free to ask any questions you have.

Hi there and welcome
Unfortunately, the situation you find yourself in is far too common. As long as you are on the birth certificate you have parental responsibility and if anything were to happen to her then you would be able to have a say.
There are steps you can take to get more time with your child and as GTTS has said, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and we will do our best to help.
