    Sadly Nannytone, she has not been a happy mother and her treatment of the children has not been good.

    Yes, she left this country during a court case and took the children. She has not made contact with me for 2 years. She has been 'running' from courts and the police in her country and the UK for 2 years. She illegally abducted our children.

    All I want is for our children to be safe and happy and I know me and my partner can provide a safe, loving and secure home without the fear they may have experienced in the past 2 years.

    and there it is....which is why she ran
  • I believe the best for our children is to have BOTH parents in their lives. I would like a situation where we can all work together to provide the best for the children.

    I also believe that my ex-wife has more friends and my family in this country, whereas she left this country knowing no-one back in her own country and has not had a secure home as she has been avoiding the police.

    No-one knows why she left a place where she had friends, work etc except her but all I have ever wanted was for us to be parents together and for the children to feel safe and happy.

    See if Shelter and the NSPCC can offer you child-centred advice.

    I know we cannot know your circumstances, but I too am concerned that you want to take the children away from their mother rather than having regular access and them all living in the UK.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    I agree, that is why she ran. No wonder she fled.

    her children

    Their children?

    OP, I take it that you are paying your solicitor? In which case, why are you having to do the research?
    but I too am concerned that you want to take the children away from their mother rather than having regular access and them all living in the UK.
    Where does the OP say that this is what he wants?

    How can he register an EEA citizen as SE? It has to be done be the EU citizen. Yet she is happy in her own country with her family, being supported by her country and doesn't intend to come to the UK to exercise any EU worker rights.

    OP is your intention to force her back to the UK so you can try and take her children from her? Are your children at risk? Your solicitor should be advising you. I hope your ex is getting legal advice in her country too.


    First of all apologies, badly worded - meant the ex wife to register a self employed when she got here.

    The highlighted part doesn't seem to apply, as from OP's perspective the mother seems quite isolated in her own country.

    However, I entirely agree that the mother's wishes do not seem to be apparent although from the OP's wording it seems that the 'return order' is for the mother and the children. Hence the appeal.

    All sounds very messy to me.

    I am wondering though if the mother has been ordered to return to the UK whether this 'order' could be used to secure benefits. No idea really - just thinking out loud :)

    Post 1 above gives this information?
    My ex-wife has been ordered by the court to return to England as she illegally took our children 2 years ago to the EU country where she was born. This issue has been resolved and the court have ordered her to return with the children to England.
