Custody and divorce

[Potiwals5]

Hi guys I have two daughter one and four. Lived with H and inlaws. Was suffering mentally and breaking down from always doing everything aswell as looking after his grandad with dementia. Had to walk out due to dom abuse. But H wouldn't let me take elder daughter! She's stuck there. I miss her badly. Anyway I can get her ASAP. Can I pick her from school and bring her to London with me? H lives in Southampton

Talk to the police, repot the abuse.

When did you leave?

I have they said go through solicitor s I left xmas eve

Unless there is something legal saying either parent cannot look after their child, then there is nothing to stop you having your daughter with you.

Yes, you need to go through a solicitor if you want to put something more permanent in place.

Unless the court have put something in place you both have equal parental responsibility. Your X cannot tell you, you cannot be with your child.

All too regularly children get in the middle of divorce battles I'm going through that now. My X wants to be with his kids he loves then and they love him, but for him it all about making his rules that I have to keep to. Your Daughter must be missing you so so much too, tell him you want to see her, or just go and see her. Make sure you have your phone by you incase of any trouble. You have equal rights. If he was thinking in her best interests he would realise that its not about what he wants its about what is best for your daughter.

Of course you can pick her up from school she is your daughter. Again Only a court can tell you what you can and can't do. Make sure you cover all basis and that he cannot use the fact that you have had mental issues against you. Speak to your doctor make sure you have verification that you are stable (sorry I don't know your situation that is not an insult) I have found people in these instances will fight with whatever they can to gain control. Good ~Luck and let me know how you get on.

Thank you so much everyone xxxx
