Ex wife lied to where she has taken kids abroad. Where do i stand?

I would just like to add that this situation needs careful handling. I would say this whether responding to a man or woman in your situation. If you go in all guns blazing with solicitors or the police it could make your partner bulk and react irrationally. Especially if any resulting action messes up her wedding plans. The fact is she has your children abroad at a location you are unaware of at present. Be careful how you approach things so as not to escalate this problem. I dont approve of what she has done or wish to appear to be defending her at all. I just think you need to proceed with a bit of caution and considered thought.

Perhaps they're going onto Orlando afterwards: People generally only do 3 or 4 days in Vegas, and it's highly likely they'll take an internal flight to Orlando and enjoy the rest of their holiday doing the theme parks.

Do you really think going to a solicitor to whinge about not being given a full and comprehensive holiday itinerary is good use of your time and money?

Obviously if you fear your wife is going to remain in the US with them that's different, but it sounds like you're a bit piqued about being kept out of the loop rather than concerns about the childrens safety.

btw, they won't be allowed into the casinos in Vegas if your worried about that - they're more likely to be exposed to gambling on Brighton seafront.

The OP has every right to be concerned, if the tables were turned then I'm confident the replies would take a different tone.

I am not sure what you mean if the tables were turned?
Do you mean if it was the father who had taken them and not the mother?
If so then not from me? Either sex is more that capable of both caring for their children.

I guess my question is why did she feel the need to lie to you OP? What would your reaction have been if she had told you they were going to LV?
Maybe they did use the flights to Orlando and then did internal flights to and from LV.

I would let her know how saddened I am that she had the need to lie.

They could have used the flights and acc as given to you and flown to Las Vegas for a two day wedding trip. Try and get proper facts not social media gossip before contacting a solicitor.

Is your ex's parents on the holiday? Can you find out from them what the actual plans are.

I agree, and yes that is what I meant, let's just hope the long term does not end in another newspaper headline

Just to fill you in,
She is there for 5 days so cant see orlando being done.
I couldnt care less if she got married, hit by a bus or won the lottery. So do not know why she would lie to me or the kids.

I am being cautious, but i have lost her trust severly. I need to know where i stand legally.

Just be glad she's your ex !

Obviously cannot be trusted.

She'll be bringing the kids back at some point, and although I fully understand your greivance I doubt if there's much you can do.

Using social media i have found her friends are joing her in vegas and she has arranged bar crawls...
Who is looking after my kids who are both under 10?

By parental responsibility i mean legally she has to have my permission to take them away, but i must also know where they are. I have been given false details therfore dont actually know where they are...

maybe family members who are there with them for the nuptials? OP I understand if you're concerned about that bit, have you tried contacting your ex-wife or her family, to try and find out who is looking after the kids while your ex-wife is having her wedding party, if its not suitable for kids to attend?

Are the children definitely in Las Vegas? They haven't been left with aunts/uncles/grandparents/cousins in Orlando whilst the Mum nips to LV to get married?
