I have a friend whos DH walked out on her and her other 2 children shortly after she married him ( 5 weeks), to move back in with his mum. My friend was pregnant at the time (he knew) and he did not contact her again until after her DD2 was born. They are going through a divorce (he is dragging it out by not signing on the dotted line) and he currently has DD2 from Saturday am until Sunday pm weekly. He has told my friend that next year he will be applying to have DD2 4 days out of 7, when she will be 2. Is this likely considering that he will be removing DD2 from her brother and sister and that he does not live locally?. Please advise my friend is distraught. BTW I suspect he is after the ability to apply for working/family tax credits and CHB as the main carer.
