Newly single dad about deedpoll🙈

[kabybrad1]

Hi...im a newly single dad, my child is just 3yrs old. We live in England...
Has anyone got advice on deedpoll cert pls. My ex wont give me our childs deedpoll, which i need to renew her passport. How can i move forward any advice greatly appreciated? How do i legally prove we've got shared P.R. Thanks in advance

Order a copy of the birth cert. Why a deedpoll? Has there been a change of name?

Hi...yes my ex convinced me to put my daughter in her surname when she was born, since then weve had a deedpoll to change it to mine. We're not on the best of terms but id love to take my little one on holiday. But my ex wont give me a copy of the deedpoll . Can i get evidence i have PR? Then the deedpoll office will issue a duplicate??im really unsure at the min 😣

You will automatically have pr if you are on
The birth certificate, so a copy of that will be enough to prove you have pr

A three year old will be just as happy, probably happier, with a UK holiday - don’t pretend you are taking her abroad for her benefit rather than your own.

It’s not sensible to be confrontational over this. Don’t take her away from her mum for too long when she is so young. There’s plenty of time for holidays abroad when she’s older.

You can just create a new deed poll, problem solved. Why shouldn't he take his daughter on holiday? If it was a mum asking she would be told to go ahead, I am sure your ex can survive whilst you have a holiday.

It’s a new separation and they aren’t on good terms. Now is the time for conciliation and mediation not escalation. There are many years of shared parenting ahead and they will go much easier for all of you if you can ramp the hostility right down. Tread gently now and you will all benefit in the future.

He can't 'just create a new deed poll' as it requires permission from all those with PR.

I don't know why she changed it tbh especially as now the child has a different surname to her
