A question on behalf of my friend.

My friend is single with two ds's 14 and 11. The father hasn't seen them for 8yrs, his choice.
My friend wants to take them on holiday to mexico next year and has been told that the father has to sign a document of consent.

My friend contacted her ex last week for the first time in 8 years... He told her to f off and that she only calls when she wants something!! In the background my friend heard a female voice saying "Get a life you fing bitch!". My friend has NEVER met this woman or knows what she looks like even!! This has shocked my friend to the core! The woman rang back - told my friend that she was so and so's wife and told my friend to leave them alone.

All my mate wants is x to sign a form... that is all. No contact for 8 years... he is married etc... so what do you reckon is the problem here?

She has been advised to go to the court for an order but she doesn't know his address - only a contact number. (Medical/legal reasons only)

I can say one positive with this... my friend had a hang up about her ex... still thought she loved him. Now she has closure... she knows now that she can move on from him. I am soooo pleased for that at least.

Any advice on the other would be gratefully recieved... thanks ladies.

It will cost her £500 to get him to sign it... for the court to order it, I believe. No legal aid where this one is concerned I'm afraid.
