Would I Be Within My Rights....

[Peg]

I would be asking the child maintenance people that question

[Glamourcide]

Well I don't know the legal requirements but yeah, I'd be very, VERY iffy about anybody having access to my kid if I didn't know where to track them down, kwim? I don't know what you're going through but it sounds bad, if I were in your shoes I'd definitely be seeking advice about what your rights are. I'd never let anybody take my child anywhere without me knowing where I could find them if I needed them... what happens if you need to come get her and he won't answer his phone or something? The possibilities frighten me
Sorry, just my two cents, and I have zero knowledge of anything to do with shared care rules... hope you can work it out. xo

maintenance and access aren't related Peg - it's entirely about the kidlet having access to both parents, money doesn't enter into it (well not within the "rights" anyway.)

my understanding is that the parents each have a right to access their children. they each have the right to privacy from an ex partner. it may be that he needs to provide his address details to someone else in regard to the potential for custodial disputes (if he doesn't return his DD) - but yeah, i think you'll find whether you know his whereabouts or not, you can't deny him access to her

Nope, there have never been any orders.

He has seen her 3 times in the last 12 months, two of those occasions were because her grandparents had her (they see her much more often than he does).

He has gone for up to 6 months without contacting us and hasn't called her to say merry xmas for the last 2 years, didnt call last year on her bday either.

In the last two/three years I can count the amount of times he has seen her on my hands. She hasn't slept at his house for over 2 years because SHE does not want to.

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Can you ask his parents where he now lives, as he wants to take your DD there? Do you have their details?

I would NOT be comfortable handing over my daughter to an idiot who could be taking her anywhere without me having any clue where she is.

I think in that case definitely no. He often doesn't answer his phone, so how are you supposed to know where she is? If he wants to see her tell him you won't let her go with him until you have a parenting plan in place first. BG/ mum1984 I think she would be within her rights to do that wouldn't she? it's safer for you too Kitt3n because without anything in place you don't actually have any legal documents to rely on to get her back if he doesn't return her as promised.
