Newly seperated, father says he won't give permission for sons holiday abroad.

Why did they split up? Maybe dad is disappointed that the first holiday abroad is without him? If he was due to go, could he still not be included, and maybe just arrange an extra room and set some ground rules.

(Can't say that I would be mature enough to do this)

I actually did this when I broke up with my ex. He went out on the p!ss every night leaving me to look after our 18 month old twins

I am a family lawyer and reading all these posts I think you are best contacting a local solicitor, most offer free initial advice or go through your CAB. Get information first hand instead of from people that think they know.....there are a couple of posts excluded from this as they do know what they are talking about!

Will you tell us which ones, please

It all depends on where you are in the country! Best thing you can do is look through the local paper, contact the CAB or use google. Most clients find us through "solicitors in XXX free legal advice" or along those lines. Hope this helps.

Most firms will usually offer 20-30 minutes for free on a no obligation basis.

Posts about slamming doors etc are not helpful - especially where children are involved. Reading posts etc are not nearly as helpful or informative as face to face contact with a legal representative. Words can be misunderstood/misconstrued and half the time not actually answer the question you are wanting answered.

Thanks - I work for CAB, and live with my children and their father (my DH ) so don't need legal advice myself

I was asking you to identify which posts are correct, as the psoters "know what they are talking about", not how to contact a solicitor

Misread your earlier post with the bit in red which is why I went back and edited the message!

It is very unfortunate that there is information on the internet that is so incorrect that it could have dire consequences.

Just to clarify you are saying that the information that The Children's Legal Centre is incorrect?

kjmale

No, when I say that information on the internet is incorrect I do not mean legal websites/the Children's Legal Centre that has been quoted.

You can see from the contents of some of the posts on this thread the information that has come from a credible source and not "hearsay".

So yes the information from Children's Legal Centre is obviously correct yet others that say "father has no rights" or "slam door in face" and other opinions etc are not from credible sources. Hope this answers your questions.
