Help- worried about losing my son

9 replies

Hi all, please help if you can.
I have a 2 year old with my soon to be ex. He is German, I am Scottish. Married three years.
He cheated so we have been split 6 months and we have a written 50/50 shared custody of DS
DS has a UK passport. My ex illegally obtained a German passport for DS without my consent so I am worried. My written consent is an absolute requirement.
Ex claims UK benefits as I earn too much. I suspect that he is claiming in Germany too. I have tried to get the german passport annulled but the system in germany is much different it is the local town hall that sorts the paperwork. My ex seems to know the local official and told him to ignore my complaint. I have tried the German embassy here but they say they dont want to get involved especially as i an not a german citizen. I feel like it is me versus germany. Worried sick.

Do you live in Germany?

No, we all live in Scotland

Are you in Scotland? Get to a family law solicitor and get a residence order.

Post in legal matters but you would be best getting a court order that legally defines residence and contact arrangements.

I don't think him having a German passport (Kinderreisepass?) is a bad thing at all, he's entitled to Duel nationality. Your problem is just that his ex has a passport for him - presumably you're worried he'll take him to Germany?

You need to get a court order preventing him being taken out of the UK as you would if your ex had his UK passport.

Thanks. We are working on a divorce agreement with residence as part of that. I just dont trust him and do understand how my rights are being completely ignored. I will post to legal as you suggest.

Yes i am worried about that, especially as he got the german one in secret and without consent

I agree dual passport is good especially with Brexit. But Ex isnt the type to care about DS rights. He is extremely sneaky and is up to something that benefits him.
