Hi there,
I have a quick couple of questions. My ex partner (we're separated) wants a divorce and full custody of the children. His family want him to move back to New Zealand and I'm not happy at all. He's very controlling. He has the children in the week because he said the school felt it was better for them to be with one parent in the week. I was unhappy to settle for weekend contact but I did and now he's saying that because he has them in the week when we get divorced he wants full custody. I have a mental disorder which is under control but he says that because of this he wants the children 100% and if he dies that they should go to his family who are in New Zealand. I feel he is being unreasonable here. The children see the family in new zealand once in a blue moon. And they'd be over the other side of the world. How would I get to see them. I don't know what my rights are. Please can someone help. I want to put a prohibitive steps order in place but I don't know if I'll get it. I also want 50% shared custody with parental rights but he's saying I don't have a hope in hell. I feel helpless. What should I do.
