If a father is on the birth cert, and the couple are separated but not divorced, with no kind of access agreement in place, then can he just choose to take the DC to live with him, even if their normal place to live is with their mum?
Would social services / the police be at all interested if no history of abuse, just a "normal" marriage breakdown?
A good friend of mine is at the beginning of a divorce and her very young DD has said some things that make her believe maybe he's going to try to take her to live with him.
Can he do that?
He's living on his friend's sofa for quite a while now, having left the family home, but will likely get his own place soon.
