abduction?

[bubbles1510]

Hi first time here, so bear with me

have a contact order in place, ex husband first o/night tonight and although I received yet more abuse and threats this morning the children have gone.

Ex went missing with our girls before which is why it's taken 18mths to get to this point, what happens if he wont return them tomorrow, can the police go and get them or do I need to start a whole court process?

I feel sick and very frightened they wont come back :(

He is an emotion and verbal bully to me and my children and twists everything to suit his mind games, daughter had a fall last week bruised her face so I am panicking he will keep he because he;ll claim I am unfit, although hospital and school are happy with what happened.

Just need advice if they don't come home xxx

calm down. If he were to take them then you could ask the police to intervene but if he still fails to see sense then you would need to return to court for them to order their return.

But chances are if that were to happen he would lose future contact so unless he is seriously stupid it is unlikely he will do it.

try not to get too worked up.

Ok thankyou, it's just because it's happened before, what if he told the court I was unfit etc and they ordered reports in the interim?

He lives 15 miles away with no driving liscence so they'd have to move schools etc, and he's in the family home because we fled and thats another court case!!! xxxxxxx

I went through this a few years back with my ex, I managed to get a court order with an added clause (power of arrest or something) attached so if he didn't return my DS then the police could arrest him without having to go back to court for more orders. It is so very worrying, I once spent a whole agonizing week without knowing where my child was, but as fangbanger says if he messes up this time he will jeopardise any future contact.

Thankyou for your replies, if he doesn't return them how likely is a court to give them back to me if he makes up awful lies about my parenting abilities.
Would they you keep them dad while we fact find - I am soooo worried!

Such a worry 26 hrs to go and counting :( xx

Bubbles, please don't worry. My ex told lies about me and I ended up with social services at my door and all sorts, they filed a report to the court saying that my son was better off with me stating that his lies were a load of rubbish. The court also took a VERY dim view of him taking DS without a court order to do so, when I got my court order he was instructed to return him within 24 hours or face a criminal record.

They were returned bang ontime, panic over nothing!!

Just been such a horrible 5 years or so leading up to leaving, then when we did it's been horrendous with verbal abuse and threats etc and first o/night brought back all that happened when he took them and went missing.

Thanks for your support, a very happy Mummy tonight who enjoyed her lie in and is quite confident I will be calmer in a fortnight for the next one and may even lay in longer! xxxx

So relieved for you, glad they are home safely :)

Me too. Was watching this thread
All the best x
