HELP!
Has anyone got any knowledge of what happens when the Father refuses to give the children back?
I live overseas and the Father in the UK, I allowed him to take the children for one month to UK for a holiday, he messed up the dates and had them for longer. He now has put them in school and is actually refusing to allow them to come back home. He doesn't allow them to speak to me without being around them, he grabbed the phone yesterday when the eldest said she wanted to come home.
I've now recieved a letter stating that they will remain with him and I can have access when I want. I never agreed to this, I have been the sole carer since he took off 18 months ago to return to UK.
Any feedback is most welcome, thanks
the girls are 4 and 8, thanks for your reply
Have you looked at the links Anna gave you? You really need urgent legal help with this.
Hi Rani, your girls are still quite young aren't they.
Which country do you live in?
want to update you all - I've now got my children back - hurrah! I took a trip to the UK posthaste; 2 court cases later, have residency and clarification for me and orders for him.......we are now back home and slowly disolving the past weeks
Oh Rani thank you so much for coming back and sharing the wonderful news with us!
Hope the children have not been too upset by all the upheavals and you can all settle down to a quieter life again!
That's brilliant news Rani. Hope they've settled back into a routine with you.
we're getting better thanks, they have been told 'allsorts' of terrible things about me and India where we live, I feel like I have post-traumatic-disorder and its crept up on me this week...............thanks for all the support you guys xx
Hi Rani
Do not hesitate to get some help from a counsellor if you find the stress is getting on top of you.
Hi from me too Rani - THANK YOU so much for letting us know that you have the girls back, I am thrilled for you.
You all have been through so much, I hope that you are able to spend some time readjusting to the new situation.
It is not surprising that you will now experience stress and worry. During the last few months you have been on high alert and now you can relax a little. Do you have friends and family that can support you with the girls?
Hi Rani, how awful for you, you must be going spare.
Have you been to a solicitor to find out what your legal rights are?
You might consider contacting your Embassy or the British Embassy in your country to find out more.
I am not an expert in this at all and I think different countries have different rules. Which country are you in?
Have a look at this page on Parental Abduction to the UK. The first part of the page is not for you, but scroll down and there is some information there.
Also have a look at this page Abductions to the UK for further information
How old are your children Rani?
