Hello everyone.
So the situation is that my partner and son fly to visit her family in Glasgow for a 4 day weekend and now she is refusing to come back. I am in total shock. She is coercive and has a history of demanding money or she will leave and take my son. I gave her spending money and paid for the flights but after having no contact with her for 3 days she called to ask for more money. Due to current financial hardship I said no and so she didn't get on her return flight and is saying she will never come back and that my son is happy there. For information the "family" home is in bedford. I am at a loss as to what to do
Hi,
Sorry to hear this. Is there someone in her family that your on good terms with, that can get involved and try to sort issue out?
If not you can contact a neutral family mediator and try mediation.
It might be worth getting a bit of legal advice - your partner has taken your son out of school presumably, and Scotland is legally classed as another country.
