Can anybody recommend a decent firm?
Need some advice ASAP. Ex is always threatening me with not letting me see my sons, using them against me and being bitter and nasty in general. Had enough now she has caused me too much stress and hurt.
Hi mate, im a social worker...
Couple of things first, how old are the kid's ? are you in the birth cert ?
It really is simple to deal with as long as you have no genuine reasons that she could withdraw access, drugs, alcohol, violence, abuse etc...
If you have tried to agree visiting rights and she is not being coperative, then you can see and family law solicitor. They will send a letter to open comunication, it could be dealt with just by a few letter's, if it is still ignored then you can go for a court date.
As long as you have shown attempts to communicate without resorting to court in the first instance, they should favorable to your case if the other side is being akward, with a solicitor you have a record of all attempts to do come to an agreement.
In almost all cases they try to make to two parties agree to a deal before entering the court, then it will be transcribed and binding, if either party fails to keep to the deal then they will be able to recall them tpo court to ammend the agrrement.
Every father has the right to see kids in the eye's of the law, although in the short term she may stop you seeing them, it will do her harm in the long term.
It really is a routine case and a legal aid solicitor will be just as good as some £500 pound an hour hot shot. Most of the time its just a standard template to a hearing, unless of course she has a valid reason to prevent you seeing them.
Just try to stay cool about it and not get into arguments that can be used against you.
