Hello, I am living in the uk with my ten year old son who was born here, we both want to go back to New Zealand. I am from NZ, so all my family and support are there. I have stayed here for the last 8 years because of my career but I want to go home with my child now and have work set up, starting in January. I have to move out my house here on the 20th December and all of a sudden the father of my child is refusing to let us leave even though he has been entirely disinterested in his son for the last 9 years. He is on the birth certificate so he has parental responsibility so he has rights. He doesn't care that we will be made homeless or that I have work and family waiting for me in NZ. My son wants to leave and his father refuses to listen.
Has anyone been through his situation? Do you have advice? I live in the countryside and can't afford expensive lawyers and am about to be made homeless. How can I get this sped up through the courts? I financially support my son, his dad has never helped, so it is essential that I go home to work, to earn money... How can I ensure the courts see this as an emergency?
