Hi
Please can I get some advice !
I split up with my ex wife 2 years ago. we have 2 children , A is 10 , B is 8 years old.
I live with my new partner her child C is 5 and our new born 1 month.
Now the problem is my eldest child, over the last year he has become really naughty/violent towards his mother. leaving her with a cut lip, smashing things around the house , swearing at his mother now even starting to bully at hit his younger brother. However, he is a totally different child when they come to stay twice a week. yes he has his outbursts but nothing as severe as at his mums.
over the past 6 months the school he attends has came involved and had meetings about him, he's been to the doctors and he has no underlying mental health issues. he has even attended counselling.
Now just recently I am receiving texts from his mother asking if he can live with me and child B live with her. I have said this is impossible as I work and my partner is on maternity leave. Ive also said I don't want to split the children up as they are fine and well behaved at mine.
she has now said she wants child A to live at the grandparents house (her side). and keep child B . which I object to . what can I do about this?
Now I would give up work to support my children or my partner would support them and both could live with us if needed but I feel as if I would be fighting a losing battle. do I stand a chance in gaining custody? or is there other ways to solve this. I really don't want them split up as I feel child A will lose out.
I have the room at my house to accommodate both children but I am in need of some serious advice and any would be well appreciated.
