Hello. My husband and I have three gorgeous kids and separated nearly 18 months ago. For the last 12 months he has been with a new partner. I too found my soul-mate about 9 months ago. During our marriage my husband had been controlling and verbally abusive, mainly towards me but at times towards the children also.
I have tried at all times to rise above the nastiness that he exudes when he doesn't get his own way but this has been hard at times.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, having agreed to let him have the children for 5 days after Christmas, he then refused to give me his girlfriend's address in Woolwich where they would be staying. I told him that unless I had the address where they were staying, they wouldn't be going. He then provided me with an address, but when I looked into it, it turned out to be a false address. Stupidly I gave him one more chance and eventually he said he would be taking them to the house he lodges at whilst he's working, which is in Portsmouth.
Anyway, we met on 27th and he took the kids down to Portsmouth... for one night. Then my eldest son who is 9 rang me up yesterday and said they were all going to the girlfriend's house for the rest of the holiday and they still won't provide an address.
So there is nothing I can do about this. Can I stop him from doing it again? I don't know if I have any rights and I can't really afford a solicitor. Any advice you can give me would be most appreciated. Thanks x
