Hi, not sure where to post but i thought I'd give here a go.
My husband split with his ex wife several years ago, they had a son together and since the split were amicable. She moved back to her home country (abroad) without telling him but after months of upset they came to an arrangement and he'd pay for her to bring their son back to the UK for visits.
Fast forward five years and my husband and I meet and have our own baby. She last sent their son when our daughter was a week old, she was fine all seemed well. They fell out about flights (my husband paid for them both to fly so the little boy wasn't alone on flight) but she wasn't happy with the flight timings.
Things got worse since then. When she heard we were getting married, that was it. She cut contact entirely! To this day we can't understand it. She just stopped replying.
My husband has tried and tried to get in touch with her but she ignores all attempts at contact. Both her parents have passed away (my husband got along with them) and she's not in contact with her sisters. They no longer have mutual friends. It's heartbreaking to see the effect its having on my husband and of course it's no good for his son.
We wouldn't qualify for legal aid, but were quoted 15k due to the international aspect and the case itself. Which we obviously just don't have.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
