Hello, (not sure what thread to post this on)
I split with my baby's father and had been living in a private rented property for some time with him visiting to see his son a couple of evenings a week and every other weekend. I've just moved into a social housing property which is in the same area as ex, so he would be able to see his son a lot more frequently and has said he would like to come every evening on is way back from work to see DS and give him his tea/ bath time and say good night. While I have no issue with this as I want to do what's best for DS and think it's good he has a father who wants to be involved in his life I have recently been told by someone at work that he might not be allowed to come round because I'm receiving benefits and they will say we are a couple?? Surely this is not correct as we are not a couple, I live alone with my son and he lives alone in a flat? So just wanted some advice and info on whether this is correct? Just to add, DS is 1 year old so when his dad visits him he does so at mine as it's easier to fit around DSs feeding times and nap times and with all the baby stuff being here. When he gets older I imagine we will arrange something with DS perhaps staying with his dad every other weekend and maybe going out for tea during the week so there will be less of ex around my house. Thanks in advance for reading .
