can an absent parent be given parental responsibility without the resident parents permission?

[7swansaswimmingup]

anyone know, apparently my ex has been given PR and i know nothing about it

hes not on birth certificate by the way

im in court 12.30 tomorow festive so il get sols to ask then i think,thanks

Good luck in court today !

Good luck today, thinking of you

aw thankyou mummydear and notactually

very sweet of you

just to add i found out that the ex was APPARENTLY given PR in december 2005. very strange as he hadnt seen ds from March to October 2005, paid no maintenace and ds had been in/out of hospital and we heard nothing from the ex

so obviously hes got the family court system wrapped round his finger. hes probably giving them backhanders of mummy and daddies inheritance

How did it go today? Any clearer about how he got PR without your knowledge?

hi festive, he turned up at court and handed the PR notice hed been given,it was dated back in dec 2005 so im stumped that he was given it, never mind!

anyway today he made himself look a pratt and he knew it. silly sod.

hes willing to pay out another £10,000 plus for it to go to a final hearing again to get unsupervised access which we'd agreed between us would start in february providing ds was healthy (got lots of health stuff going on) and felt comfortable and trusted him enough to go with him.

so basically his supervised access will continue till at least april when theres a review hearing. hes such a plank its unbelievable.

he actually approached me outside the court house and i told him hes an idiot for going for a whole year of court again especially as i hadnt stopped him seeing ds.

hey ho, not gona let him ruin my xmas. oh and the judge agreed that he coudnt come xmas day as he'd caused too much upset in the family home and wouldnt be fair on the kids to have xmas stressed out by his presence.

7swans about the leaving the country thing, do you have a passport for him?I was told if I had a passport then xh tried to get one the passport office wouldn't give him one
(don't know how fool proof it is though-may be worth asking?)

jolly, no i havent got a passport for him, its a thought isnt it. il ask solicitor after xmas when i do my statement. shes going to put in an order for residence so at least that will be a reassurance.thanks.

in respect of the passport-I am pretty sure that you can put a bar upon anyone attempting to obtain a passport-ring them and find out if this is the case and do it if it is.

thanks chipkid

Definitely ring the passport office, they're very helpful. We phoned them to see if we could apply for one for my dsd without her mum's approval and we were told yes, BUT our situation is VERY different to yours - dsd is 13, lives with us and her mum doesn't want to know her. I'm sure in your case YOU would get the final say, being the resident parent of such a young child

Merry Christmas to you and your ds

thanks notactually, ive written it on my "to do" immediately after xmas list.merry xmas to you too.
