I've been having some health problems lately and its made me realise I don't really understand what happens to my 18 month old dd if I were to die. Does she automatically go to the other parent? Can my family raise her?
At the moment, her dad pays maintenance weekly and always on time (touch wood). We live 100 miles or so away from him. He hasn't seen her in six and a half months and hasn't spoken to her on the phone (so she can hear his voice) or webcam for two months. We haven't heard from him at all comfor a month now. He has promised for a while that he would come and see her at the end of August but we've had radio silence instead. I haven't chased him up because I've done that for 6 months so can't anymore.
