My DB has (he thinks) shared custody of DC but uncertain if this was agreed as part of court when divorce went through, or just via agreement with solicitors. DC have until now lived with their Mum during week and with DB at weekends and some of school holidays.
Oldest child is now wanting to live full time with DB due to unreasonable and negative behaviour of Mum.
DB uncertain where he stands legally if DC comes to his house and then refuse to go home. He does not think Mum would be in agreement for DC to live full time with him, as DC are seen as "cash cow" in terms of benefits she get from them.
Would he get into trouble with the law if unable to persuade DC to go home?
What steps does he need to take to allow DC to live with him, if Mum refuses to allow him to take on the bulk of residency?
