I want to move away with my daughter and my new partner - my ex is saying he's going to talk to his lawyer and see about custody and I'm worried he's going to try and stop us or take us away. We haven't sorted PR yet as not been split up that long: if he gets it, can he stop us moving?
Thanks.

Unless yopu can come up with concrete reasons as to why you should ove your child away from her father (a new partner's job prospects won't wash I'm afraid) then your ex will have a very good chance of convincing a family court to make an order preventing you from moving.

I wouldn't advise you have any more children, ever, seeing as you aren't interested in the needs of this one. You are a cow IMO.

MOO.

anyone else think that the OP is a walking advert for why certain people shouldn't be allowed to breed?

Yabu and selfish.

The father has automatic PR for a child whose birth is registered after 1 December 2003.

In your words you were only together with her Dad because you were pregnant.

IMO you're only with this one because you want to get away and start a fresh. Out with the old, in with the new eh?

How very selfish of you, you are not thinking about your daughter or her want or need to have a Dad.

There's no knowing how it would go if it went to court, but he's had 50/50 parenting until now and he will show that he wants to continue this and has her best interests at heart, - unlike you who have moved someone new into her life and want to uproot her from everything she knows. This can only strengthen his case and weaken yours, - do you really want to take that risk?

OP is being selfish and possibly naive, true, but eugenics isn't the answer Hmm

Surely this is a wind up? No mumsnetter is that irresponsible and selfish.

GypsyMoth · 29/07/2011 17:32
