My ex partner isn’t letting me take my daughter on holiday.

[Kirsty8503]

Hi, just looking for a bit of advice. My ex partner isn’t letting me take my daughter on holiday as he claims my new partner is abusive which is not the case. He is a compulsive liar and has lied throughout our relationship and since we’ve been split. I have recently released information of the abusive I suffered in the relationship.
Im devastated he won’t let me take my daughter as she is so excited and awaiting on court dates for a specific order. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this and how did it go?

Was the holiday abroad?

Do you have a lives with order in your favour op?

I have taken my children abroad alone and never been asked for permission from the other parent.

not saying that’s always the case but we have travelled many many times.

Yes the holiday is abroad. He keeps putting court off as they have asked for evidence but he has none. He has claimed he has witnesses but no statements. I'm so stressed with it all.

If he contacts border control, then your child can be put on port alert. They take stuff like that serious. If that happens then legally, I don't think he's doing anything wrong but you would be as you are supposed to obtain his written permission

Do you have a lives in order?

I wouldn't take her without his permission but just wonder if anyone has been through this type of thing before especially since he's throwing accusations about with no evidence.

No nothing, I just allow contact to him on certain days

You need a child arrangements order live with. Then you can take her abroad for 28 days without permission

Get a lives in order then he has less control over your lives...

Get a Child Arrangement Order so that you don’t need his permission for future holidays of less than 28 days. It’s £230 plus a mediation session iirc

Is a residency order the same thing? As my lawyer had mentioned this but I need to provide information to why it's required.

How long have you been with your partner op?
Does your ex pay child maintenance?
I would speak to your solicitor for advice

I've been with him over a year and half. My ex does not pay any child maintenance as he claims not to be working although has 3 unregistered businesses 🫤

Hey, I have this exact thing at the moment, what was the outcome please?
