<t>Hi Cellbar, Spain is quite close as far as abroad is concerned say 2 and a half hours flight so the mother could come out a few times a year if she wanted to and its not prohibitively expensive.From the overview of the cases that fatcat refers to it looks like that you need to demonstrate to the ...

Thanks to everyone here.

<t>Hi Clairspex,I would lodge a complaint with the Ombudsman, that way the council will know not to mess you about. I can not over stress how difficult it has been to bring our complaint both in terms of time and emotional stress. If I had my time again I would take legal action against the council ...

<t>Thanks, Today was a victory for common sense the order was as follows.<br/> We supervise contact as the fathers mother has had her chance and been blown it.<br/> The court recognized that the grandfather(retired criminal solicitor) had no business applying to annul the SGO and threaten us with cr...

The ss will see your daughters refusal to cooperate as a potential added risk to the child and it is her call. It is difficult to separate yourself from the worries that your daughter...

<t>Sorry to hear this, the s.s. here are overstepping their powers and they should pay big time,there a a host of cases where the ss have acted like this where they were found to be at fault so best of luck.<br/> <br/> Get an independent expert social worker to produce a report and a respected child...

<t>Thanks for the support,I know its all a threat really and my solicitor says the judge will probably jump on it and stop it all.<br/> He is very hostile and really my best defense has been silence, preferring to let him rant and as the guardian put it, we are the ones with the power and we are exp...
