Can I remove ex h parental responsiblity?

[MsPunky]

Just that really. He isn't allowed contact and now I want to removed his PR. I'm guessing Id have to go to court but is it possible?

You can't.
A judge possibly could but only if v good reason. If he isnt allowed contact at all then that should be enough for now.. If he isn't allowed contact he can't really get involved in decisions can he ?

Nope. You can't, just like he can't remove yours either

But there are so many thing I can't don't without his signature because he has PR. I want to change dd's surname and I'd have to get him to sign that.

To be fair it is not about what you want, its about whats in the best interests of the child. Bare in mind i say this with no knowledge of your individual circumstances. If you feel very strongly about it then the only thing to do is take this matter to court.

It definitely would be in the interest of dd. she'll never be allowed contact until she's 16 and yet I'm suppose to consult him over certain things. I can't stand that he can phone up school and get reports on dd.

It's not about you tho??

My ex has never had to sign a thing! Life went on as normal for us all. Passports/medical procedures/education....

I know that

That's good to know about passports.

Well, that's fair enough the name change. She can do that without him when she's older, and anyway you can use a "known as" name generally.
I'm not sure that else needs BOTH signatures.

I'm sorry for whatever has gone on, clearly a lot for their to be no contact allowed and you to want to remove PR

Thank you cabrinha. You're right, there are some horrible things that have happened x

But the point is he is her Father however you may not like that fact. I think the name change could easily wait. But of course I don't know the background and if you feel strongly then seek legal advice. That's what I'd do.

Vivien, believe me this had nothing to do with my feelings. He has done some very bad things. He will likely be going to prison at the end of the month.

The name change can't wait really. I don't want anyone to associate her with him.

Name change can be done through justice of peace court without fathers say, my sons birth lines are diff from the surname he's known so couldn't get a passport without legal documentation to show name change, I went to justice of peace court, stood in front of a judge, done a declaration then explained situation and that DS's dad hadn't been in contact in 3 years etc etc, left 5mins later with documentation

Well I bet he won't be using up his phone cards on school reports take heart, lovey. Don't let the surname thing hold you back. Actively decide not to.
My ex is just a common or garden lying cheating arsehole, not a patch on yours. So I do know this is easy for me! But I see my daughter's surname as HERS, not his.

Crossed posts on the surname, sorry, I didn't realise you had specific identification issues
Maybe go for "known as" for now and let the legal side catch up later.
My best friend at school had a father in prison, I'd forgotten til now - she and her mother used mother'a maiden name.
