now that his mum has realised no CB, and no maintenance, has decided that she'd like son to go back and live with her now!
has told him as she is his mother she can ask court to send him back as she is "essential" to his upbringing... So tiring.. he is 14 so presumably nothing will happen (as he definitely doesnt want to go back and has been living with us for over 3 months now...). Just v annoying and also so v unsettling for him...

just a rant really! Smile
it'll be something else next week...

just a thought, the court will probably go with what son wants, my friends have split up, son to the mother, dad was step father. mother walked out and son stayed with step dad, mother decided she wanted son to move in with her after a couple of months of no benefits and being short of money. ended up going to court, and step dad got a residence order! son wanted to stay with step dad (son is 13)

let him know you're there if he needs you, thats all you can do :)

Thank you, and good to know. Just v sad for DSS when one day his mum says how glad she is that he doesn't live with her (nice!), to a few days later (once money has stopped) saying she's changed her mind and thinks it is best - for him! - that he goes back to live with her.Part of her reasoning being that I (stepmum), have never had a child of my own and therefore am not fit or able to know how to look after him (as my DH works abroad a lot)
