My DC's DF sadly committed suicide 18 months ago. We divorced 8 years ago. He was living with a partner at the time and had been for 3 years. Relations were not good with her and us even before he died. However since he died they have got even worse. She went after his pensions immediately and was awarded at least half even though they weren't married and had no children. Anyway that matter in the hands of solicitors and the Ombudsman now. His parents have sided with her and have blamed me for what he did. We do not speak and they do not see the children (his parents choice, I have asked for an apology for the wicked things they have said about me, but they refuse to give one)
I have asked them where his ashes are so the children can visit when they choose to but they won't tell us even though we have asked the question directly many times. Does anyone know where we stand legally on this? the DC are 16 and 11, as they get older I'm sure they will want to know? I have arranged a memorial bench that they can go and visit but I don't think it's quite the same?
