    If she is still living in the house, you need to remove all your financial papers from the house and store them in a secure location
    Change passwords to all your accounts
    Check your credit history whilst this is ongoing.
    Thank you lucky stars that you have escaped a financial disaster that could have cost you greatly.
  • Funny how a person can accumulate £250K and have zero common sense.
    It’s obviously your money. You are not married.

    And for access as everyone else has said a court can decide. Where is the dilema. Are you just showing off- letting us know you are wealthy. Well done.

  • I don’t know if you are on summer break. I’m not sure this reads like a post from an adult.

    You want your son but also plan to move abrord to be with your money?
    It just reads a bit funny for me.

    Utter tripe ? Think what you want onward&upwards. Just because she is mother of my child does not mean she is entitled to a golden ticket for the rest of her life.

    Firstly what right does she have more than me to have access to our son ? Aside of what the court can think I can %100 provide him a better and more stable life. What happens when she gets bored with her next partner and then decides to leave him for someone else ? Constant chopping and changing which is not a good environment for anyone and secondly i doubt she would be leaving unless there was someone equally able to bank roll her expenses. So not only would she have my money she would have his money as well. I am not a chump and will avoid this situation with full contempt

    Also, I have never once demanded her to do strenuous house work or chores that she didn't want to do. Anything she has done has certainly not contributed to my cash money / savings. If hadn't met her I would be exactly where I would be right now just without my son i would still have exact same amount of money.

    My hard work what she has benefitted from .
    You've had some good advice which you've not acknowledged at all.
    Instead, you've chosen one post to disagree with.
    Why is that?


    And don't you mean:

    if she gets bored...
    Just because she (apparently) got bored with you, doesn't mean she won't stay with the guy she's chosen over you.
  • Get DNA tests done to make sure the child is yours.
  • Can’t imagine why she might have left you.

    I suspect a court would be very concerned indeed during any custody hearing if they get wind of your plan to move abroad.

    Utter tripe.

    How much of a hit would your finances have taken if you’d had to raise your child without her?


    Had they been marrried, that is the way that the law would treat the situation. In this case that reasoning would not be applied by the courts.
