s a asked:


I am a single mother to a 5 year old girl that sees her father (we are seperated, we were not married, but he lives nearby) occassionally on the weekends, he doesnt arrange times to come, doesnt call to talk to her often, calls unexpectedly expecting to to see her when other plans have already been made, doesnt provide financial support for her and doesent think that he is ever in the wrong even though it clearly upsets my daughter, I would like to know the process that I would have to go through if I wanted to gain outright custody of my daughter and if anyone has been through the same thing and what they did with regard to the law and custody. I am in the UK. All answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

   Call a lawyer for yourself and sometimes there are lawyers avaliable to speak on your childs behalf and will be willing to negotiate. I am not sure how things work in the uk. I am canadian and I only know this because my father went through this when my mom split. He had 6 kids to fight for. He won full custody of all. We were lucky because he wanted to keep us together otherwise we would of ended up in foster care.

   call your lawyer and ask for professional advice. don`t try to cut your daughters father out of her life.
   only bad people do that
