Hi there,
just a but of a back story.
my ex is in prison for serious assault on my son, my son had 4 fractured ribs at 10 weeks old, my ex was convicted and is serving a custodial sentence.
myself and my son do not have any form of contact with him or any of his parental family at all. I am taking my son away on holiday to turkey, package holiday, and my solicitor advised me I would have to gain formal consent due to my ex partner being very controlling and she felt it was in my best interests so it didn’t cause me problems, he has formally declined this through his solicitor with no explanation as to why. I have a court hearing soon to get permission through the court, anyone have any insight into if I will be allowed via the court? what reason could he possibly give to say I can’t take my son on holiday.
due to what happened to my son I had to have a parenting assessment which all came back positive and I worked with social services to get my son safe, my son lives with me full time and I have residency for him and also a NHO with power of arrest against my ex partner, and a no contact order for my son for my ex partner.
a psychologist report was done on my ex and it clearly stated he was controlling and shouldn’t be around children, so I’m just hoping the court takes this into consideration.
the only thing I can think of is that my son had asthma, he is 2. However he is on a wheeze plan and I have managed that perfectly fine since birth, I have brought my son up alone since he was 10 weeks old with no reports or evidence to say I’m not capable, the reports say the opposite as a matter of fact. I am also going with my dad on holiday too so I won’t be alone, and I qualify as a nurse in less than a year so I’m more than capable of managing my sons asthma, I also paid extra to have a hotel with a dr’s inside the hotel for that reason,
any tips of advice ?. Similar stories, so devastated my sons been through an awful time in his short life and I’m trying to give him a better childhood with taking him on holiday for happy memories and this POS is still trying to destroy our lives
