Dear Mums,
I am reaching out as a matter of feeling so wronged by the justice system .
A little back story DS is now 18 months but his father abandoned us when I was literally 5 days pregnant .
I was an asylum seeker ,luckily was able to work and provide for my son .
I had a decision made by the Asylum team who had asked if I had changed circumstance and informed them of my change of circumstances .They later made a Decision and wrote that I had no child ,therefore they didn't put into perspective that I have a vulnerable child .
Anyway ,I took DS's dad to court when DS was 4 months .
His father accused me of cheating on him and then demanded a DNA test which I agreed to .
It turned out positive and I had a court date set to get a declaration of parentage for my son and him to get his citizenship
However on the court date I went on time and I was informed that the court had not listed my case and the person who was in charge of my case was not in .
I was informed that they didn't know when they would get me a date.I informed them that I don't have weeks or months wait as I am out of work and therefore a loss of income .This makes me vulnerable to homelessness as with the declaration of parentage my son would atleast be spared as he was a British Child.
I currently don't have any family in this country .
Any helpful tips i will be grateful .
Concerned mum.
