Recently my partner left the family home with our 22 month old son. She has blocked me from her phone, whats App account and not answering my emails.
I really don't want to take the route of getting lawyers, solicitors ,Private Investigators etc.. involved, but really need to see my son!!
Anyone know anything which could help?
Hi there
You must be very worried, were there any signs that she might do this, was there an incident, or anything else that might have sparked it?
I doubt solicitors could help locate her, you could contact her family, just ask them to confirm she is ok and ask about your child. If they refuse you could tell them you are contacting the police... that might encourage them to at least tell you she and your child are ok.
If she has gone to a woman’s refuge, the police would be able to tell you that she is safe, but wouldn’t tell you her whereabouts.
If you draw a blank though, you can apply to the court for a seek and find order, all they would require is information that would help them to locate her, either a bank account, place of work, or even a member of her families address.
You could also use a private detective, I used one a long time ago to locate someone, which was successful.
I hope you find them soon. Best of luck

Hi,
if you have her parents/family home address, thats good enough. you file for child arrangements order. you put her families address on it. i recommend legal advice.
similar nonsense happened to me. i didnt know where ex ran off to with kids. so got solicitors to do CAO form for me, and all court documents were sent to ex's family home address. seomeone knows where she is and will have to perk up.
you should take early action, as this could end up giving you brain damage/mental health issues.
Cheers Bill
Unfortunately it is not that simple! My partner is Zimbabwean and has no family here in the UK. From what I have been told she never got on with her own Mother so is not in contact with her. She does have a person she calls 'Mum" who lives in Kent but I cannot contact her. She, like my partner has blocked my phone number as well as my Mums and Dads.
I have phoned the police and they said that she and my son are well but wouldn't reveal their location. My sister had contact with her via 'whats app' but again she would not reveal her location.
Is it Private investigator time?
