My husband has a cocaine addiction that caused our marriage to collapse after sixteen years. We have five kids together and my son. He became abusive and kicked me out of the marital home. He wouldn’t let me take the kids so I daughter refuge with a friend and he moved himself back into the house and told me if I ever wanted to see the kids I had to move back in with him and them. He has been saying for three months that he has a residency order but I’ve never seen it. With Christmas and lockdown I’ve seen my kids for a day since November and I’m out of my mind trying to get a legal aid lawyer and social services to help. I’m in England and he is in Scotland with them. Any advice

My parent now got given a residency order but we live together and have done for 2 years now. Does the residency order still stand as I live with him and my daughter?

I lost my son to my ex in 2014 and he became resident order parent. I had by the judge nearly half as much in overnight and holidays in days as him. So I didn't have to pay nothing to my ex. My sons 17 and he wants to live with me full time and is soon leaving his father's and moving in with me. Has I have him nearly 50%of the time but his dad as the child benefit as the first parent can my ex do anything to get him back when he's 17 I'm in England. An I can't work out if my ex is over him till 18 but if my son at 17 wants to live full time with me dosnt my son have a say

My daughter had a permancy agreement till she was 16. Shes been 16 for the last about a month and the social work said to the carers if she thinks she's kept in don't tell her she can't be told what to since she turned 16(they don't mind being unethical, eh), sorry about the rant! I just want to know if she can come home.

My daughter's permancy order stoped when finished when she turned 16 she has tuned 16 she want to return home socail worker says she cant as i only have a 1 bed room house the housing aren't showing houses because of carona virus can she come home just now until I get 2 bed room house.

My ex partner was given residency of our 2 children in 2015 I wasn't in any fit state to look after them due to the death of my youngest child. I sorted myself and in 2016 he handed my children back to me but we never told the courts. Can he take them back? He hasn't maintained any contact with them since early 2017 he hasn't seen them since the day he handed them back to me.

Can I as a grandparent go for emergency residence order or a residence order. I’m a little confused as some parts of google say the child’s had to of lived with me for three years? Is this true or can I apply without the child having lives with me before?

I am a single father to my 11 year old daughter and had her on my own since she were 3 years.I have a residence order but because her mother left the court before we went in, no contact order has been made and the courts said it was for the parents to work out.During the 8 years her mother has repeatedly not shown as arranged, let my daughter down with stopping overnight and owe over £800 child maintenance.Just recently she has been dating a support worker and they plan to get married later this year.My daughters mother earlier today said she was going to keep her and look after her from now on.Her mother has 4 other children who are on child protection. What rights do I have to stop her mother from upsetting my daughter from the constant let downs and rights as the resident parent to keep her in my care.

I need good advice, my ex partner was granted a live with order for our two children aged 7&11. I have been granted spend time with. My ex (the father) is not providing the care for our children, he is leaving this to his current girlfriend for the day to day running of their life. I am not happy with this arrangement and I believe the father misled the court. He won’t tell me his new address and I receive hurtful and spiteful messages from himself and his partner. Our children want to spend equal amount of time with their mum and dad. How can I appeal this court decision?

I was hoping to get some advice. My ex has a residency order for our 2 children. A few months ago our daughter decided she wanted to come back living with me which we both agreed on after speaking to authorities also. The issue I have though is he is refusing to cancel his claim for tax credits for her and with 3 other children here I’m finding it difficult to be able to get the essentials for her. She has outgrown most things that she came with. I do work and he doesn’t. He is now saying that if I add her to my claim then he will keep her at his which will mean disruption to her school after she transferred once already. What can I do?

Hi. My nephew currently stays with his nana as she has a residency order. She had a stroke recently & is now saying she is un able to care for him. Is there anyway she can sign his residency over to myself.

My partner and myself split 5 years ago, he hasn’t seen my daughter in 2 years and refuses to answering anything regarding my daughter who is now 13 and has ASD. I no longer have any details of his whereabouts but recently contacted his mum as my daughters passport is up for renewal, he is now refusing to sign the relevant paperwork! Where do I currently stand on this matter? Thanks

Added on from previous message I have had 5 year old since he was 2 and the residency order started February 2017.
