Ex partner wants to stop me taking kids abroad

[kel4mum]

Just spoken to my exp,(horrible man)told him that i was planning to take our ds and dd on holiday next year as have been invited to a wedding abroad. My new dp's mum is getting married in Cyprus and he is giving his mum away. Of course we want to go and my dc are very close to his family and she would like them to be pageboy and bridesmaid. After telling ex our plans he went mental at me, saying that i couldnt take children abroad without his permission, and to make sure that it is not possible he will apply for a passport for dd as she hasnt got one yet. Ds has passport already. Is this true, need help, what do i do?

Spoken to my solicitor this morning and she has assured me that i dont have to seek permission off ex to take kids abroad, as i am resident parent and am only taking kids away for one week. So he can go suck fish.

EXCELLENT!
hop ehe really hates the fish when he sucks it.
have a fab time and try to put him out of your mind......
all the best.

UPDATE: After all the support that i recieved when i posted this thread i thought that i would keep you all informed.

Exp ran to say that he had spoken to his solicitor and that i would need his permission for me to take dc abroad. Said that i needed to contact my solicitor again. I informed him that we would write to him in due course. Didn't like that did he? Oh no, he gave me the normal verbal abusive, to which i didn't react and then tried the lets do things amicabley bullshit. Anyway i spoke to solicitor again and she said that he was still trying to control me, so she has now taken the reins from me and will be now organising access and the holiday dispute.
Ive left it at that. I'm to have no contact with him and he can only ring to speak to kids.

I get a phone call today, him swearing at me cos i haven't sent a fathers day card, like he deserved it,NOT.

This was my first contact since letter was sent to him. I was polite and told him that he needed to contact my solicitor if he wished to discuss anything futher. His reply was B**H. So ive been a good girl and done what i was told and i am not going to let this man bully me anymore. My dc are happy and healthy and as far as im corncerned i am doing the best for them.

So thank you everyone for your support. And a big thank you to controlfreaky2 for listening to me.

kel I hope that this all works out for you and you get to go away on your jollies and enjoy yourself, if your ex gets nasty put the phone straight down, you dont have to put up with that kind of behaviour, wish you luck x

Thanks Tinkerbel5. I spoke to solicitor this morning and she wants me to consider reporting ex to the police about his verbally abusive behaviour. Don't know if i want to go down that road again. I just want my dc to have regular access to their dad so that they can stability.

maybe you can keep a diary of dates and times when he gets nasty, it could be used in evidence later on if you ever had to go to court, it also wont look good on your ex either if he wants to exercise his rights and he is abusing you in the meantime, seems like you are having to pay a price for your children to see their father, shame on your ex for how he treats everyone

kel4mum. hurry up and book that holiday! you truly deserve it after exes abysmal behaviour!

I wish i could book the holiday, but i can't as the bride has set a def date yet. I wish i never said anything now.
Im sorting out passport though.
