My ex-husband thrown me and my son out of our marital home in January. Since then me and my son have been rehoused and settled in in a new flat. At that time my ex promissed he would be helping with our son's bringing up.
While I was finishing second year at university, and have been busy with the practice, my ex would take our son to and collect from the nursery. At that time i was only able to see my son over the weekends.
All the costs for child care and additional spendings, such as food/napppies were on me, and as a matter of fact in the last 9 months my ex never gave me a penny to help out financially.
Right now my son with me all the time. I receive neither financial nor physical support from my ex. He doesn't work, and threatened me, if I contacted CSA he is going to take my child from me, on grounds that he was looking after him more, during my studying. I recently lost my solicitor, as the company went into administration. And now i am struggling to find a legal aid solisitor.
At the moment I am terrified that despite the fact my ex isn't really a good father, but he will be able to take my son away from me, if i report him to CSA.
I would like to ask, if anybody knows what woman's rights are in the situation like this?
Thank you very much for the link.
Hi Gerbillina hope you are keeping your chin up! As for the CSA (who are rubbish by the way) if your ex is not working and claiming any kind of benefit then they will only take off him £5 a week, as for taking your child off you hed have to prove that you are unfit first which would involve social workers so i wouldnt worry about that!!! Take care and try not to let him bully you xx
It's very unlikely he would get full time care of your son. He would have to prove you were neglectful, abusive, or a drug/alcohol misuser.However, we have a legal expert on hand. Please note you cannot ask them to take on a case for you but you can ask them ONE legal question, click here to email them.
In the meantime hazleyes has given you the link for legal aid solicitors and I agree that if he is not working, you would only get £5 a week from your boy's father anyway so maybe not worth your while?
Hi Gerbillina. Welcome along. Take a look here Its to help find a solicitor, legal aid.
Don't be threatened by your ex. He would have to have good ground for taking your child away from you, so don't be frightened by him at all.
Others will be along at some point during the day, so please do keep posting. We're all here to offer our support.
