Hi Everyone,
I am a desperate mother, whom after a five years and still ongoing divorce battle, is now about to loose her 14 year old daughter to her vile estranged husband.
My husband left me in 2006 for aqnother woman and my daughter at the time was 9, my son was 6. He very rarely sees them and always when he feels like it. When he does sees them they are always under interrogation to get information about me (since divorce still ongoing).
Now that my daughter is 14 and changed her behaviour in the most appalling way I am trying to controll her by avoiding her going out with bad influnces.
She is very privileged in the sense that I pay for her to go to private school (I DON'T GET ANY MAINTENANCE AT ALL FROM MY ESTRANGED HUSBAND), yet I am the vile mother and the father is her hero, simply because he lets her do what she wants; even to the point of letting her out in town with whoever and knowing nothing of her wereabouts. Last night she secretly arranged for her dad to pick her up early from school to take her away from me and to his house, but she confided in her best friend who told her mother and she contacted me concerned.
My estranged husband would love anything to attack me as he has already told me that he wants my daughter to live with him, but not interested in my son. He claims benefit, because he cleverly transferred the business into his girlfriend and so is claiming poverty. He is in reality acon millionaire. I get £ 6.70 every fortnight for both children from the CSA. QUITE SCANDALOUS. Although I asked CSA to investigate, they are not interested.
The question is,HOW CAN I STOP AND CAN I STOP MY DAUGHTER FROM GOING TO LIVE WITH MY ESTRANGED HUSBAND, WHICH WILL BE TOTALLY DETRIMENTAL TO HER?
There is also past physical violence from my estranged husband to me, but he denies it.
Please anybody out there that can give me advise I will so much appreciate it.
 
Haha... you said fortnight :)

The laws are surely quite different on your side of the pond, but if you all use custody/visitation orders like we do I suggest you look into getting one ;)
 
Fortnight is a perfectly good word. Just because you Yanks don't use it....

Antonella, this is primarily a US based board and I don't think we have any experts in Family law in the UK here. The law in the US and the UK is not the same, so I'm not sure we can advise you. There is ONE regular responder here who MIGHT know something that could help, but even she, Brit though she is, has most of her family law experience here in the US. I think you might be better off contacting a legal professional in the UK.
 
CBG is correct (on all counts, but even moreso about fortnights ;) ).

I had seen the thread yesterday but honestly the laws concerning parental rights and custody have changed dramatically over the last 10 years or so; I really wouldn't be doing anyone a favor by guessing.

So yes - please speak to a solicitor in England, Mom.
