Hi, long story but DH ex has been trying to blackmail DH so she doesn't have to comply with consent order from FDR. DH solicitor is preparing to take matter to court and in their consent order it states applicant wife faces prison sentence if fails to comply with order. We just assumed courts don't send mothers to prison but solicitor advises DH that may not be case.
My concern now is that if she does end up in prison I assume DH will get full custody of DSS (at least until mum is released), who will be pulled away from his half sister to live with us over an hours drive away. Its either that or he goes into care, unless anyone can advise differently?
I have an 8 month old baby and I am pregnant again. I couldnt face having to cope with an 11yo boy who no doubt will be going through a whole host of emotions and bring up 2 babies.
I know this may never happen but it might, I don't know anyone who has gone through similar to ask for advice on how to deal with step children whose mothers are in prison. DH says not to worry and wait and see, I would rather not wait to learn on the job with a newborn and a 14 month old baby. As anyone been through similar and survived?
