Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to read this first of all, basically i am looking to gain custody of my Son from his Mother (my ex-Wife). We have been divorced for around 4-5 years now and i would love to be able to have my Son live with me now instead of her. Lots of reasons why, but safe to say i think i have a very good case as she doesnt ever seem to put him first in anything and i have had enough of it.
On big stumbling block potentially is that my Son has a diagnosis iof Autism, now again this is something she has pushed for relenetlessly despite objection from members of her family and mine. Were you or anyone to meet my son in a normal situation you wouldnt know anything was wrong and also more to the point the autistic spectrum is so vast and vague that you could argue the case for around 90% of the population to have it based on their criteria for diagnosis.
She will regularly go on holiday without him, always try to palm him off so she can go on holidaty with her new husband and their child, so my Son is ditched which eventually will effect him, she has openly admitted to me that she cant cope with him on text messages and then when i said i would take him, she then questioned about maintenance payments... Once i informed her that there would be none from me to her if my son lived with me, all of a sudden she decided that she could cope and that all would be ok. So in a nut shell she sees my son as a meal ticket for her to receive payments from me, which clearly dont go on his care or upkeep most of the time, i still buy him clothes, pay for his hair cut and lots of other things on top of the maintenance money that i give to her. She sends him to me looking borderline neglected and all the while she has her hair and her nails done like she always did, its not fair.
I wondered if anyone else had had a similar situation and if so how it was dealt with? Did you gain custody and what where the steps you had to take in orer for it to happen?
Thanks in advance for any help or assistance that you may be able to give me.
