Hello. Last weekend, my wife left me and moved into her mum's. She didn't tell me she was planning on doing this (we've spoke about breaking up a bit recently but I never thought she'd do this). She also took our two daighters, aged 2 and 4. Since she's gone, she has only let me see the girls twice, and it had to be round theirs with both her and her mother present. She will not let me take them out as she thinks I will take them away. There is no reason for her to think like this, as I've always been a very much hands on dad and realise that the children need both parents. Last night, she realised that I've spoken to a solicitor, and my wife went mad and started telling me I have no rights to do that and that she is allowed full custody over them, which my solicitor has told me is rubbish. Hopefully the solicitors and courts will grant me equal access (which is what I've been told I'm entitled too). But the only trouble, due to covid, the courts are backlogged until atleast December. I just don't know what. Going to do if I can't see my beautiful girls before next year. I'm going to text her later just to ask if I can see the girls but I know she will either say no, or totally ignore me (I've been asking by text as then I have proof that I've been trying to see them). I'm just so worried and upset!
