Hi everyone,
First post on here so apologies if its in the wrong place.
I'm looking for advice and hopefully some reassurance. I have 3 children 2 boys and a girl between 5 & 11yrs old and have been in what I thought was a good relationship, however 3 weeks ago I came home from visiting my mother with the kids and she had packed and said she was leaving as it wasn't working out. I took her to the train station hoping we could sort it out but I couldn't and she went.
I now have the 3 children with me and have sorted all the relevant benefits so that they are in my name.
The concern I have is, the children phone her every night before bed and everything is amicable between me and their mum but today she said she wanted joint custody of them.
Now before all the anti father brigade jump in, I have no problem with joint custody or anything else, my concern is she has moved around 150 miles away, so is unable to see them daily and financially difficult to see them at the weekends. If she decides to go for sole custody of the children will the courts side with her and move the children away from school, family and friends? or will they allow them to stay with me?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
