after a few years of my partner being together and him being separated from his ex partner. there are still many urguments and her contacting me when I have asked her not too, she constantly phones any partner just to tell him that everything she does is his fault, she recently let my partner have contact with his children after a couple of weeks she would find an excuse to stop them coming around, this time she has claimed its my fault they can't come around, shes always taking the kids to the doctors for the smallest of things, she has a massive problem with trust and lives in complete mess, she takes drugs that aren't hers and has a problem with food, you cant have a discussion with her she just screams. The kids don't want to go home and his family are conserned for the welfare so have contacted relevant services

  • I see your post has gone unanswered for some time so hope you don't mind if I break it down into what I see as separate issues. I hope you come back to this thread sometime.

    Could you change your phone number to stop her from contacting you?

    she constantly phones any partner just to tell him that everything she does is his fault,

    If your partner doesn't want her to ring him he needs to tell her.

    shes always taking the kids to the doctors for the smallest of things,

    to be fair to her, if she didn't take the kids to the doctors she could be accused of being negligent, it's a fine line really. Plus, how do you know how often your partners ex wife takes the children to the Dr? Isn't that confidential information?

    she has a massive problem with trust and lives in complete mess, she takes drugs that aren't hers and has a problem with food,

    these are her issues, you need to let her deal with them herself.

    you cant have a discussion with her she just screams

    Then don't have a discussion with her. Put everything in writing, email etc.

    The kids don't want to go home and his family are conserned for the welfare so have contacted relevant services

    How old are the children and why doesn't your partner have shared residence?


    To answer your original question, the possible outcome of your partners children being removed from their mothers care based on the above is virtually nil. What on earth makes you think they'd be removed?

    The drug issues and the fact that the kids have said that they dont want to be in the family home?

    If theres a possible child protection issue then I would think social services will need to investigate.
