If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Im a father with majority custody of my Daughter and 50/50 custody of my Son.
There is a prohibited steps order/ issue on the final court order due to ex draining back accounts, booking flights, packing bags and recorded messages of her planning to leave back to P.R.C with children which is not part of the Hague convention so they would be gone upon return to China.
So this is about my toddler son with 50/50 custody.
I pay through my bank the nursery for him, doctors, dentist, optometrist Hospital appointments and registration are by myself and at my address.
I have birth cert, passports and any documentation for my children.
In Jan this year due to error with UC no nursery payment was made and I was short I asked my ex to help contribute due to the error and it would be mostly reimbursed the following month, she refused unless I sign child benefit over to her.
I cannot tell you the stress I have gone through.
Later on I received a letter for DWP claiming my son no longer lives with me and a questionnaire with the #1. question being when did he move out.
I send this back with everything evidenced above plus the nursery also saying im the primary contact as well as other supporting documents and sleep arrangements.
I received another letter asking for everything I had sent in with the first letter but now on a questionnaire and filled it in and sent it back.
I also sent a supporting letter that my primary concern is that if granted to my ex even though my Son does actually spend over 50% of the time with me plus supporting documents that now DWP sees her as primary carer for my son, she would then claim UC and now as 2 government departments see her as PC possibly get a replacement passport for him.
I was very through.
I rang today to check if they had received the second letter and documents and they confirmed they had.
The gent on the phone told me that he cant tell me the decision thats for the escalation team but that a letter will come shortly and that if im unhappy with the decision I can ring back and find out why.
I said sounds like you make the decision in favour of my ex wife.
He said it would imply that yes...
Im shocked...truly shocked..
If indeed my ex has this for my son I need to try and get this changed..
Any help would be much appreciated.
