Urgent - ex husband took my kids without consent!

Hi there,

Two weeks ago my ex husband took my kids from Scotland (where I just relocated), to England without my consent. I told him he could see the children for three hours but when I went to pick them up at the allotted time at the meet up place he didn't bother showing up. He messaged me over an hour later saying he had taken the kids to England and no mention of when he's bringing them back.

Since then I have been in touch with many different legal firms both in England and Scotland to try and get this settled with no hope. I was just wondering if any of you have ever been in this sort of situation and how you dealt with it.

One of my lawyers told me to file a C100 form to the courts where he is in England, have any of you done that before?

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Do you have any idea which County they are in? You could find out the school he has them at through the local authority education department?
I would cancel passports too.

There is a way by email to attach a link that is really a locating GPS tracker, so where he opened it (approximately) will show up.

Have you contacted social services?

You need to file the paperwork to court asap!

Will the police really not tell you where they are?! Did they say why?
