I had similar incidents with my kids. my daughter was 3 and came to me with one side of her face black and blue????? my ex wouldnt tell me a thing so i had the kids placed on the at risk register! 3 years later my eldest son told me her new fella was knocking them all around!!!!!!!!!! there wasnt a thing i could do??? at law my responsibility ceased with the section 41 and of course my wallet????? even when my lad was badly injured in a car accident i wasnt allowed to visit him without her permission so i think the law simply chooses to ignore the Dad except of course we have to provide the ex with a lifestyle that she wouldn't have ever had!

I know this is a wrong thing to say, but if my daughter ever shows signs of being abused, and by signs i mean any marks, i would do what i could using the law, but also i would have to say i wouldnt hesitate to sort out the bloke who done it as well..
i am not advocating violence or suggessting this is the way forward in any way, but this is what i know i would have to do as her father..it would be instinctual i'm afraid for me..sod the law..

I didnt like to say it but i did???????? my kids safety was paramount???????? i asked him politely to lay off them and when he laughed at me!!!!!!!!!!!! well lets just say he saw a lot of stars and a brill view of the ceiling?????????? he never touched my kids again but my ex used to be marked all the time

Any idea how I would get my daughters birth certificate amended? as she has no father recorded on hers; her mother is fine with me getting this done.

ahh...yeah ..that would be the one..
so sorry...

Thanks to the original poster. Have just downloaded the forms and will hopefully get this sorted out ASAP. I always thought that having my name on the birth certificate would suffice.

even if a form was signed, you could go on holiday..up to a month is fine, anything after needs fathers agreement, well if he had parental rights..lol

hehe **evil grin**

now now Mandy! lol lol

I've been married twice and have 2 children from each ex (ie i have 4!) I'm in a rather odd situation in that i know what it's like both sides of the coin. My 2 youngest live with their dad and I have the 2 eldest. We did all kind of get along, even if it was for the sake of the kids, but my 1st ex remarried sometime ago and the woman is poison. Thanks to her, the eldest 2 haven't seen their dad for over a year now and only get a five minute call most (bit not every) week.

I live with the prejudice shown by folk for 'giving up' my boys and the hurt of trying to get the girls to see that their dad loves them very much but his own circumstances make it difficult to be there for them as much as he'd like. I do my best to for all of them tho' not always easy.
