Hi, please help. I have also put this on the legal talk page but any advice would be gratefully received.
My friend has come to me for advice as I split up with my ex husband a while ago and she wants me to help.
But her situation is a bit different...she wasn’t married, she was with a man for a few years and they have a 10 month old. She has left because he is abusive and controlling. He tried to prevent her leaving and told her she could only go if she agrees to him having the baby for 3 nights on 3 nights off. To get away she face to face had to agree.
It’s been two weeks and this is killing her and wants it stopped, how can she reduce this so he still sees the baby but doesn’t have to go that long without him? As she fears he won’t agree and will keep the baby anyway.
Also when she went to take the baby’s passport and birth certificate from the place it’s always kept, he had taken both, I’ve said put a stop to the passport (coz I think he has a place in USA) but can she put a stop to it?
Any help would be grateful appreciated. I’ve said she needs to speak to a solicitor but at the moment money is very tight for her (she’s staying with a friend nearby her ex at the mo), she’s spoken to gingerbread and has been having counselling since Jan for his abuse towards her.
Thanks
