My partner is currently in discussions with his ex about custody. She wants sole custody, he wants joint custody. She and DSS live elsewhere in Europe- so not UK laws. DP has very regular contact with DSS and has prioritised this over the years.
So, he has been asked to prove that he hasnt had dealings with social services here in the UK. He hasnt, we havent. Has anyone heard of this? For me, this is just plain weird. I am trying not to get too defensive about it, but it feels like our family reputation is being called into question. If I put that aside, and just get on and prove it, does anyone know who I need to contact and what I need to ask for? I just cant help thinking that even asking for this, means that you do have contact with SS iyswim.
Also, both myself and the EX's new partner have been asked to attend an interview. Has anyone had to have one of these as part of a custody situation?
any insight appreciated!
