Like I visited several times with our son, made several video calls, I told him about important events in the child's life. I have always been the one to push for him to have a relationship. Because before he left he said if he leaves now the child would forget him. I didn't want my child to not know his father who by the way is my husband. So I visited almost every weekend. He didnt have the basic necessities for us to be there but I went. This year he told me he wanted to spend time with his child separate and apart form me. I told him sure but proper arrangements need to be made. He didnt make proper arrangements. Is from calling to cancel then to not calling to confirm. So I decided I'm going to step back and let him try. But instead he sent me a letter saying that I have stricken him from decisions concerning our child which caused him stressand hes demanding to me to see his child within 7 days and failure to do so he would take legal procedures. What should i do?

I later applied for a variation for half of school fees, uniforms, books, shoes and bag. After two yrs of dropping in my bills, i was told the order made was a temporary order. I was given back 2018 bills but the court dont want to give me back 2019 bills, i was told i have to reapply for the variation. My son father applied to decrease the maintenance and out of fear towards him i granted it because i was afraid how he would react with me when i step out of court. Now he reapplied again for a decrease and i am scared he will get it. I also applied for variation for martial arts classes and football classes. he works for almost 30,000$ a mth, how can i get him to increase?

I took him to court but what he pays is a measly amount compared to her needs. His mother even tells him not to give any more money than what he gives in court. Every time I ask for money he says he doesn’t have or says he wants to see a receipt first but doesn’t understand that I can’t get a receipt if I don’t have the money to go to the appointment. He is very difficult and has threatened with court already because my current bf and I got into a fight and he think my bf is abusive to my daughter. He disappears for weeks without calling or offering any help and when he reappears he acts like he has a right to be in and out of her life as he pleases. I allow him to see her but he does not do anything she needs as it relates to her autism. Up to a few weeks ago he did not even know where her school was because he never showed any interest. I would like to apply for full custody. I have a better job and I live on my own which is better for her because he lives in a house full of people and they also have little to no understanding of autism. What are my chances of gaining full custody?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982073039117898371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579793611910834836.post-88113620550078747392017-11-25T01:26:10.574-05:002017-11-25T01:26:10.574-05:00Hello,

I always paid all maintenance whilst abroad and I was never allowed to see my children. I returned to the country and got a lawyer and went to court for joint custody to get visitation rights but my Ex has no lawyer and the case was adjourned for her to get a lawyer and for us to get more documents. Since the last Court date, over 10 months has passed and she denies me access. For the last 5 months I have withheld monetary maintenance and paid all school fees and transport only. I told her unless I am able to see my children, I would pay her no maintenance and I can purchase groceries for the children for which she says she needs the money. I have to visit my children school to see them. A new court date is 3 months away but I still do not get to see my children. When I asked her what is the arrangement for liberal access, she said its when she wants. She now claims to have a Police friend who she said is getting a warrant to arrest me. I have the money to pay maintenance but I just NEED to see my children. What are my options for the next three months as I wait for Court. I am hurting inside by not getting to see them, not even to speak by phone. I asked my daughter who is 13 why she does not answer my calls as and she said her Mom always takes her phone away. I also have a recording which my daughter sent for me in secret where my Ex is telling her to never answer when I call the phone. What is your advice in the mean time please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579793611910834836.post-60176080638841727392017-11-14T20:15:52.571-05:002017-11-14T20:15:52.571-05:00Does a child have to have his father's last na...Does a child have to have his father's last name?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579793611910834836.post-85632267589769533122017-01-18T05:20:23.161-05:002017-01-18T05:20:23.161-05:00Get a lawyer... go to court.Get a lawyer... go to court.Trinbago Rightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17979966801415147544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579793611910834836.post-12415302258368339582017-01-16T19:58:16.054-05:002017-01-16T19:58:16.054-05:00My daughter is now 16mths and lives with her mothe...My daughter is now 16mths and lives with her mother as we are not together. The problem is that the she has been refusing to let me see out child. I call she does not answer when she does it is to curse and be abusive . Sometimes she tells me I can see my daughter and when I am on my way she cancels or does not show up. She has been a menace and has now begun to call my work place to send messages that I am not taking care of my child. Every month I ensure transfer enough money. She has called my family my friends making it very difficult to get along with her. She has threatened me that should I seek visitation rights she will make a report to the police that I have done something to our daughter. I wnt to know what is the best steps to take . I want at least visitation rights to see my daughter. Her mother even refuses to give me a copy of the birth paper. I don't want any contact with the mother. What should I do?

He believed i was disrespecting his family.he then asked again to come to my home but i was uncomfortable due to verbal abuse i received in the circumstance before and also my father has never met him, (to this date). He started posting stuff on social media aout my family and I tarnishing my character when I asked him to come to my home when my father is at home as a form of respect. He began threatening me, i made a report to the police and i went to a JP and mediation was tried . He saw the child the said day he turned one month. He contiously messages my phone saying i am being selfish ecause i am demanding my respect and said i will not go out of my way to take myself to go to his home after his threats and disrespect. He has now decided to file for visiation rights, the child is two months, strictly on breast milk according to hospital rules and he does not stomach formula since at the hospital therefore he cannot go to the fathers house on his own nor do i feel comfortabe being around him. I have all our conversations recorded, as well as the threats and post. Do i let the magistrate see and hear these things when i disagree ?Resey868https://www.blogger.com/profile/10878264591010397526noreply@blogger.com
