A Prohibited Steps Order (PSO) is an order granted by the court in family cases which prevents either parent from carrying out certain events or making specific trips with their children without the express permission of the other parent. This is more common in cases where there is suspicion that one parent may leave the area with their children.
We have all heard the stories of a parent taking their child for the weekend and not returning them or going abroad with them and it becoming extremely difficult for the other parent to get their child back. Thankfully, this is one of the scenarios that a PSO seeks to prevent.
Can I Take My Child on Holiday?
You can only do this if the court agrees. In order for that to happen, you must appear before a magistrate and prove that you are not likely to leave the country and not come back. It also has to be something that your ex-partner agrees to.
Check your legal rights as a parent on education, health and welfare decisions.

The answer to this is yes, but only if all parties are in agreement and can satisfy a magistrate at Family Court. If there have been instances in the past where visitation rights have been exceeded or ignored, the magistrate may feel he or she has no other choice but to rule against any proposed changes to the order. Also, he or she must take into account the effects such changes may have on the child (or children).

What Can I Do If The Other Parent Doesn't Come Back?
There is no easy way to deal with this question – the chances are if they have taken them to a country that has not entered into an agreement with the UK, it may be hard to have your child returned to you. At present there are 45 countries that have entered into an agreement with the UK to help with the recovery of a child in these circumstances.
Does The Prohibited Steps Order Apply Just to Holidays?
No, a PSO also applies to any jurisdiction within the UK as specified by the court at the time of issue. For example, if the court finds that there are grounds to suspect the parent in question may take their child out of the area, then they may specify in the order that they do not do so. Failure to comply with this order is a criminal offence (often charged as kidnapping) and could result in a custodial sentence.
I need some advice on how to go about this. As apparently he can get an order to stop me ?
Kind regards
Upon moving my ex immediately aplied to remove m parental rights etc. I spend 7 weeks per year with my daughters (clearly I would like more).
My ex has remarried and has since two new children with him.
Our youngest (of our two daughters) had this week stated that her name at School is now referred to as her new husbands and not mine. She is now almost seven years old. Our eldest daughter (almost 10yrs old still has my surname) I was not informed of this new 'known as name'.
Q. How do I apply for a 'prohibited steps order??'
Can my sons father attend tomorrow and try and get a pso order on me even though they granted me one ?
Also I have been a victim of domestic violence which was proved at the same day hearing 2 weeks ago ! Please can someone help me to understand what the next hearing is for ? And what my ex will try and do ?
i have a restraining order in place as a result of domestic violence..
more recently my ex partner has been turning up at school and last night tried to take my son against his will.
he doesnt have any regular contact with the children in place as refuses to see a solicitor. as doesn't believe he should have to pay for one in order to see the children. where as its important to me that we have things arranged and set out properly for his and the childrens benefit.
i was hoping there was something I could do to prevent his father from being able to turn up at school or after school clubs to remove them as they serving my care.
I want to visit my parents in India. I don't know how and where I apply yo cancel prohibited order.
Can anyone give me advice for that.
Thanks
I have a pso in place until my children reach the age of 18. Specifically it states my ex cannot remove them from my car or care of school. And that I may take them out of the country for a period of four weeks without court approval.
My question is, my youngest at 13 wants to travel on a scout summer camp to Switzerland, it will be for 10 days, will I need to do anything to allow him to go?
Will I need the court to approve? Or an official letter to accompany him perhaps from my solicitor confirming my agreement?
I would hate for the scout leaders to be challenged at passport control.
Thank you so much for any advice
I met a women 8 weeks ago she lives 118 miles away from me but wants to live close to me, she has just been given a house 5 miles from me, is she allowed to move her 3 children 110 miles from there father even if she offers to do half the journey for the father to see the kids every weekend. And also see them every school holiday and have contact every evening
Thanks
I'm actually panickingad he says I'm an unfit mother etc and don't have my kids interests at heart
Thanks in advance
TIA
My partner and I have been together for almost 4 years and she has a son of 13 from her previous marriage.
I live 250 miles away from my partner and we would like to get married and move in together but fear her ex husband will object to her moving away.
My partner doesn't work so I would have to give up my job to move the other way, neither of us want to restrict her son from seeing his father and are willing to meet half way with him to reduce the journeys.
How should we go about moving this forward, my partners ex has remarried and we would like to move on with our lives too.
The dad took me to court as soon as i was out of hospital
We was never a couple
He has treatened to take my son whos almost 3 months old on the 17th april 1018
The court granted me the pso and for the dad one day a week for 3 hours unsupervised he wants more contact as hia not happy with 1 day a week and wants 4 days a week includeing night visits the dad doesnt live in the same area code he lives 4 hours away but has family where i live with my son
would the pso be remained until my son is 16 and would he get more contact
I’ll leave this short.
Last month, my wife announced she wanted a divorce without any warning and left the family home with my daughter. A few days later on a Friday at around 8 pm I got a knock on the door from a court bailiff summoning me to court for Monday morning. I was given a PSO (C100A and C1) without any notice or opportunity to contact a solicitor that weekend. I had no choice but to represent myself in person which meant the prohibited steps order stands until my FHDRA meeting (in the next few days).
My wife has claimed:
I have pushed her - NOT TRUE!
Threatened to take the child out of her custody – NOT TRUE!
That my family are a threat and will do the same – NOT TRUE! My parents are just about able to care for themselves.
I have harassed her family – NOT TRUE!
NONE OF THESE ARE TRUE!
She has claimed the issue is the odd time we have argued in front of our daughter and she feels this detrimental to our daughter’s health.
What I have been doing under my wife supervision is watching my daughter take part in her sports activity, one cinema visit and a few visits to my parents. None of these constitute to quality time with my daughter. How can this be fair?
Cafcass have contacted me and taken note of myside of the story. Her solicitor has said our daughter is going to school and she is OK in her new home.
My wife normally works weekends so I would always look after our daughter then. I assume my wife is presently off work (with stress?) at the moment.
My question how likely is it that my daughter can stay with me at the weekends?
I’m concerned why wife will just contest everything and yet she has made false allegations.
Does this not constitute contempt of court when someone will purposely deceive a court (especially when my wife works in a place of law).
Thank you
I am taking my 5 year old son traveling to Europe for 3 months (he’s not in school yet) i have signed consent from his father (my ex). Last week me and his dad had an argument and now he is saying he is going to get an emergency prohibited steps order to stop us from going. We leave in just over a week so I am worried that is he is successful we will not be able to go, everything is booked and paid for! Does anyone have an idea what his chances of getting an emergency pso would be? Thanks
Many thanks
If the father is not on the birth certificate can he apply for a PSO ?
I cut contact from my ex partner december because he keeps letting them down. he has not taken me to court even though threatend too. I went to mediation he was contacted by me and mediator and ge refused.
Friday he picked my son up from nursery without my permission.
I went straight to court for an urgent prohibited steps order and specific steps order.
Needed help from police to agree on time to bring him back.
I am waiting for hearing on Wednesday.
I need to know what judge wants to hear about and what evidence I need to bring with me.
I have not said he is a threat and not bad mouthed him in the application am worried will do so to me so don't know if I should show his messages to me from the past when he has been horrible or not. Thanks
You would need the mother's consent therefore. If there's some reason you think she would disagree, you could try mediation or the courts.
Her mother is moving in with me as well as her daughter and I have been an active role model for the little girl from 18 months old to her current age 5. The birth father has very little to do with his daughter and has supervised visitation by an entrusted family member on his side of the family when he does so.
Can the birth father stop me from applying for adoption or parental responsibilities so I can make sure this little girl grows up with the father role model she deserves?
My largest concern if anything untoward was to happen to her mother I want to make sure her daughter is raised with me (which is the mothers wish) and not the birth fathers family.
My husband walked out at the beginning of the year leaving me with 3 children (2of which are his). He hasn’t maintained a regular contact with them and only ever calls them now and then. I have had threats and nasty messages passed to me from him and members of his family and so I blocked them all from being able to contact me. He is currently on girlfriend number 5 since leaving in January and has only been with her for 3 months (they’ve already split and got back together during the three months) and given his track record of not maintaining a steady relationship I specifically told him that I did not want him introducing our daughters to his partner. He has gone behind my back twice before they split and introduced them to his partner and just today took them to her house even though he knows my feelings on this and agreed he wouldn’t take them to see her again. His partners ex has contacted me and said that she is verbally and physically abusive to the children he has with her and so this really isn’t someone I want around my daughters. I want my ex to have a relationship with our girls but I do not want his new girlfriend to be involved with them or have any contact with them. Can I apply for a prohibited steps order to prevent him taking my daughters to see his girlfriend and what’s the likeliness of it being granted?
Thanks x
I’ve heard stories
about parents abducting children and the other parent never seeing them again so I do worry that this could happen
My ex has declared that she is moving to Cornwall, which will be at least a 6 hour round trip for all concerned. Naturally I am concerned about the frequency that I will see my daughter and the impact it will have on our relationship. Would a PSO be viable in this situation and would the courts support my view?
Many thanks.
Please I really need an urgent advice, I came here 2013 with my wife and children for holiday, after some few weeks I left them and travelled to Italy for a business trip, I returned back after 10 days for we to return back to Africa but I didn't saw her again, even though we spoke a day before I came back to UK. However, 8 weeks later she called and told me that she had seek for an asylum because she doesn't want my mother to take our daughter to under go FGM. Later she told me where they are and I met them there and tried to let her know that my business is at risk if I do not go back to Africa, she then promised me that after she had a baby that she was pregnant to that we would go back home. However, after she had the baby on June 2014 she changed her mind and ran to the street when I told her that it's time for we to go back home. Apparently she was crying on the street and I don't know who called police and told them that I was beating my wife which I didn't beat her I was only telling her for we to go home. When the police came they took me to police station, subsequently they allowed me to go and issued me No Further Action because they have investigated and found out that I never beat her. After some days Social Service was involved and they came and took my wife to got PSO and NMO order from court even though I wasn't the one who wanted my children to under go fgm but they put it against my name.
Home Office and appeal court have rejected application for asylum and my wife is afraid the danger we would face if we were to returned home because I am now a Biafra activist, and she told our senior daughter which is 8 and would be 9 by October this year, she told her the danger she would face if we were to returned home because of the fgm. However, my daughter told social worker that she's scared of going back to Africa because of the fgm, subsequently the social worker invited my wife and told her that she is torturing our daughter emotionallemotionally and why did she told her about the fgm, and she would consider our children in protection order.
1. Please has my wife done anything wrong for telling our daughter what is going on that Home Office wants to return her back home where she and her other sister would face danger? However, I told her that my wife has not done anything wrong for making our daughter to be aware of what is going because she keep on asking us why aren't we working or buy car because she's aware that we had cars and lived happily back home. In addition, my wife got tired of hiding it from her and made her known of the problem we are facing here, subsequently social worker is using it against my wife.
2. I want to challenge and cancel the PSO and NMO because it's against me and I'm not the one who wanted my daughter to under go fgm. Basically it was my mother back home who wanted her because she believed is our culture and tradition, though I haven't go knowledge of fgm no
My child's father has decided to move away from the town we live in. My daughter is 7 and goes to school 5 minutes walk away from both our houses. Where he is planning to move to means it will be at least 30 minutes drive in good traffic (high traffic is expected most days, so realistically longer). He has her 2/3 nights/mornings per week and due to working full time she attends breakfast club at 8am before starting school at 8.45am. My question is because of her having to be up a lot earlier in order to get to school is this something I can stop?? I don't think it's fair on her to be up so early on certain days just because he has decided to move away
Back in 2011/2012 i was granted a residency order for her to live with me. In November 2012 we went back to court as my grand daughter wanted to go back and live with her mother and siblings. The Judge did a Contact Residence and Prhibitation order in which grand daughter went back to live with her mother, and i granted her to stop over night every third weekend.
Sadly due to family dynamics my daughter has forbidden me to have contact with my grand daughter, social services are involved due to home disputes and agruments, when i asked social services when i could see my grandaughter they said as her mother has residency and PR and she doesnt want me to have any contact with her i am not allowed to. I explained about the Court Order and was asked to send them a copy which i have done, when i spoke to them today they told me that the Court Order is out of date so they will be ignoring it. Do court orders go out of date? and can they deny me access to my grand daughter who by the way wants to see me.
My Ex hit my daughter 11 year old and threw her out of the house - cut a long story short there is no orders in place at the min and we both have PR.
my daughter is saying she wants to live with me and SS have no problems with this. For the last 4 weeks we have been traveling 100 miles a day to take her to and collect her from school. We have now made an application to change schools to a local school to me. My ex will not agree to the transfer and has applied for a PHO.... 2 questions.
1 - Will I get paperwork and notification of the application to allow me to give my reasons for transferring the school
and
2 - Given that she kicked her out, hit her and my daughter is saying she wont return to the care of her mam how likely is it that the application would be successful. Are childrens wishes taken into consideration?
My wife and I are not getting along anymore and she has expressed her intention to take the two youngest of our four children away from the area and our family home. She simply wants to up-sticks-and-go all the way to an area close to Cambridge near her mother but we live in Durham, County Durham. I am concerned because she has nothing arranged, no school places, if there are any, no job to earn money nor a secure home. She plans on moving into her mother's 2 bed flat where both her parents, 1 brother and 1 sister already reside, making the place incredibly overcrowded. This, I feel, would not be good for our 5 and 8 year olds. They would be suddenly taken away from all that they know and cherish, school friends, local friends and of course their older brother, sister and myself. I feel it would cause my 5 year old to regress as she has a little separation anxiety when she is at school and the school has included her in a group therapy class to address this. I am concerned about my children's education and anxiety which moving away would make worse. Please help what can I do?
My ex partner has informed me that he has applied for Prohibited steps order to stop my daughter from going on holiday abroad. He told me this about 2 weeks ago. He said he has done it as an urgent matter. Until now I haven't received any letter or order yet. I don't know if its a bluff or what.
He knows about the holiday and I also sent him a copy of the plane tickets (return). But still he is not giving permission. He has parental responsiblity as he is on my daughter's birth certificate. Anyway, he was aware that we were planning to go on holiday and he even offered to pay for our plane tickets, but I told him he only has to pay for our daughter. Because I told him no when he asked me back, he started being spiteful and says that my daughter is coming on holiday with me. My little girl has been looking forward to see her family abroad but because of him trying to brainwash her saying that I'm leaving her abroad, I can see that she is worried and is scared of coming with me. What do I do now? TIA
My children currently live with family and friends and on a care order till there turn 18 I am trying to discharge the care order in the future but as for now wish to have more contact as this is very stressful on the children not having a bond with myself I feel as I'm battling against the whole system and I'm on my own I have gone down every avenue I can think possible and constantly hit a brick wall also the system I'm trying to work with are not constant and many changes in workers put a lot of stress on myself and mainly my children and this is not fair. Please I need some help and advice. Much appreciated
Kind Regards

I've been separated for 6 years and divorce 1 year. My exhusband was arrested for domestic violence after separation. After he stopped supporting my son - 12 years old -financially I contacted Child Maintenance Service. My ex got upset and applied for Prohibited Steps Order to stop me from removing my son abroad and take him on a tennis camp and visiting my parents abroad. I applied for a permission to the court to take my son on a holiday to Poland and the permission was granted. I also applied for a Child Arrangement Order. Father has a history of hashish abuse, a conviction of being under influence of alcohol while being in charge of a vehicle ( not driving ), several police reports. In 3 weeks there is a final dispute resolution hearing. It is very difficult for me to recall past abuse and my son has a history of epilepsy. He cannot be exposed to undue pressure and stress. If I get a child arrangement order which states that my son lives with me, is a prohibited steps order still in force?( My son has lived with me since he was born until separation ) Many thanks, Ewa
The same. I have applied for Non informed PSO through solicitor because if she finds out she will run with the boys (done it before but came back - removed them from school with a fabricated story of dying relative) can anyone advise what the chances are of getting this PSO given the circumstances. Thanks
As we are now having to move out of our home because he wont and when i do tell him I dnt want to finish work and go and pick my kids up from school to be told he has taken them early all because we have moved out.
I fled and was located to a woman's refuge. I stayed in the UK (I'm originally from abroad) because I knew that even though I have no family or friends here it wouldn't be fair on him or the children. I do however have the right to visit my family along with my children, but their father has place a PSO against me. What if the court those grant me permission but he doesn't agree? What can I do? We are due to go to court this month for child contact and it is my understanding that at the moment he'd only be getting supervised visitation.
I separated from my husband 3 weeks ago. I found out he had racked up hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of debt and was having an affair. I have agreed access with our 2 children for 3 days and 3 nights per week. They are 1 and 3. Today my 3 year old told me they met daddy's new friend and they were kissing and cuddling. She was upset and very confused and had been told not to tell me. I need to protect them from any more emotional pain as it is hard enough for them just understanding we don't live together any more. I'm also concerned that my husband won't bring them back to me after one of the weekends he has them. Obviously we are still married and share 50:50 parental responsibility. What would be the best thing to apply to the courts for? PSO ?
Thanks
Can I stop him taking them away. He will fall asleep when kids are in pool and my youngest could drown...he doesn't think about the kids safety....how can I stop him!!! Please help
my ex is keep stopping me seeing my son as she knows i cant afford court to try and gain access to him, she is now wanting to take him abroad and already booked and paid for a holiday without me knowing, can i seek a order to stop her taking him out the country and odes this cost anything? she is playing with this little boys life as a weapon to get at me knowing he is the only hold she has on me.
Can I also get advice the magistrates main the decisions but were horrible to me, I had a solicitor but he was rubbish and the firm have squashed my fees now. In family court is it right for the panel on the second hearing to be different to the ones in the final hearing.
If I stop contact again what is likely to happen to me, I only want what's best for my son and this already shows that the future contact arrangements are bleak
Thabks
I was wondering if anyone could advise please. My expartner has taken mw through the family crts for four yrs now and as you can imagine it has been absolutely awful. We have an order in place which has been (from my part) in favour of the children. He introduced the children to his girlfriend and kids very early which I wasn't happy about. Nonetheless an order was finally accepted by him in December, 3/4 months ago, this has taken it's toll in the kids. Now he and the girlfriend have split, but she has started turning up my kids football training every weekend, with her exhusband and the children. She shouts at him in front of my kids, refuses to let her kids speak to my kids and it places me in a very awkward position as the children's school is at the same venue which she has gone ten miles to get to. My sons have expressed her rudeness how she shouting at their dad and they don't want to see her again. Is there an order I can get to prevent her being involved in the contact. My sons have said their dad doesnt stop crying. My kids behaviour is affected dramatically by this
Thank you
Been separated for 6 years from my ex. We have a daughter with cerebral palsy and an 11 year old. I have them every other weekend Friday to Sunday or Saturday to Monday (I do school runs) and additional time on BH's and holidays. This has never really been an issue as she needs the break and is more than happy to hand them over. I have never missed a weekend without consent (and only happened once when I was away for three weeks). I work full time and manage as much as I can. She does not work and so is the main carer.
My daughter with CP has a disability car. I used to let her take my car when I had the girls as I would need the disability car for my daughter and her wheelchair and walker.
Since then I have remarried and have a two year old son.
My car just died and whilst I got it fixed again I gave it to my sister and my wife gave me her car which she paid £14,000 for and we do not want to hand that car over to the ex on the weekends we have the girls.
The reasons are - she lives in an area where cars get damaged evidenced twice by my car being damaged outside her house. We fixed it from a scrappie no biggie but that isn't the case with the new car. There is an excess of the car of £500. She has no money. If she damaged it then we would have to pay that excess. There is no excess on the disability car so she doesn't think about that. She has never owned her own vehicle. She is a very nervous driver and has damaged the disability car numerous times. She does not clean it or even empty the rubbish out. She will not take care of our new car. And there is no legal obligation on me to provide for her needs. Only my daughter's.
We have an additional child and the new car - Skoda estate - whilst can fit the equipment in if we take it all apart (with pretty much nothing else possible) with two child seats in the back fitting the other daughter in the middle (and she is unfortunately not small) is very uncomfortable. And why should we when the disability car is for my daughter not her mother. We should not have to take two cars with two fuel costs so she can retain the disability car and use it – which is an abuse of the motability scheme.
Additionally we take her out on her adapted trike a huge amount and it only fits in the disability car. She has advised that she has rung motability and removed me from the insurance and will no longer be giving over the car with effect from Monday 7th March.
I want to make an application for a specific issue order to compel her to hand over the car when we have my daughter. I want to apply for a prohibited steps order to stop her removing me from the insurance. I will argue that refusing to let us have the car will affect my daughters welfare.
Can you confirm this is the right course of action?
I have NEVER hurt or threatened my ex-partner or my son in any way and never would.
Can anybody please tell me if there is anyway I can get this PSO discharged/thrown out?
My ex girlfriend and I have a 2 year son. I have found it difficult to have contact with my son because its always been on her terms, and if I've ever I've disagreed with her I have threats of violence from her dad and brother. I have now found out through the grapevine her drug dealing family are selling their home( paid for by drug dealing) and all moving to Spain, including my son. I know I can get a prohibited steps order, bit do I need a solicitor for this or can I apply straight to the courts? I am on a moderate income but I think maybe too much for legal aid. I know I am going to lose my son and if he leaves the country I will never get to see him and if I ever did have the money to travel to Spain there is the threat of violence from her family. I don't know what to do.
After the court final order was made for the child contact, I approached my daughter’s school with the court order to the head teacher and as a biological father to include me into their records. Which was accepted by the school. Soon after there was a function which I attended where in my daughter was performing on stage. After the performance like all other parents approached their children I too went to see my daughter at the front of the stage. Here I was stopped by my ex and the grandmother. We then approached the head teacher who tried to explain my ex that rightfully I am allowed to see my daughter being a biological father. However my ex started to have a verbal confrontation with the head teacher that I had tried to kill my daughter and so on. She keeps repeating these allegations despite being proved false in the court. This was one of the allegations which was proved false in the court during the fact finding hearing. Also after the final order made for the child contact, I have been asking for my daughter’s passport copy/school information (I was not aware at that time)/medical information or anything that pertains to our daughter. All this is still not been shared to me.
At present my ex has filled for a PSO, to NO access to any information to our daughter. Not to be around the school or meetings or any records. An interim hearing took place without my presence due to not being served, so the judge has listed for a review hearing very soon. The order also states that the father is prohibited from collecting or removing the child from the school. I have not made any attempt to collect or remove our daughter from school till date. My ex has been trying to make all false allegations against me.
As I am representing myself in the court. I cannot afford legal assistance. Can you please guide me to tackle these issues and how to proceed with the PSO.
I appreciate your guidance.
Both parties are expected to either attend or have legal representation at court, certainly the Applicant. If the Respondent chooses not to appear or be represented the judge must be satisfied that all parties are aware of the Application and that they are given the opportunity to Respond.
His latest trick is that he is threatening to just take her from school when I don't bow to his demands. He has parental responsibility so supposedly he can do what he pleases. If anyone else did this it would be kidnapping.
I'm 8 months pregnant and have had 6 years of this bullying. It is too stressful and I can't afford court (although earn to much for legal aid).
I know it may not fall under the PSO but is there something similar to stop this? I'm trying so hard not to cut contact but cant see any other way. I can't do this anymore or live life in fear I'm going to get to school and have been taken by him on a control trip
Please help!!!
I have been married 17 years to a man that has repeatedly abused me emotionally and physically, he controlled my life. I have 2 children with him aged 9 and 10.
I managed to break his hold on me in feb this year. Since then dozens of things have happened I was stopped whilst driving and had my windscreen smashed by 4 men I managed to get away, my home has been burgled by my ex, social services was called by him etc I could continue but I wont bore you. All these things resulted in him being arrested and I have since got a non-mol order, but he has changed my childrens postal address and made attempts to gain passports. He has also put tracking apps onto my youngests ipod and secured them with passports.
I have family solutions involved I have noticed concerning behaviour from my children before contact with him, extremely violent dreams (of him breaking in and cutting me up :( ) I hate it can anyone advise?
my son is currently going through the courts to get access to his daughter his exs solicitor has applied for a prohibited steps order which the court has granted why i do not understand as my son has no criminal record no substance abuse works full time and just wants contact with his daughter he has spent over 11,000 and 6 months later is no further foreword due to malicious false allegations from his ex just because she doesnt want him to see his daughter why cant the courts see what she is doing i dont know what else to advise my son to do he is emotionally and financially broken is there any advice you can give and what does this order mean
kind regards

My ex partner and I were sharing custody till he hit my child. Since then she has been in foster care and we moved out of the borough. He has not had contact, stopped paying maintenance and taken out a prohibited steps order. He even has my childs passport.
What do I do? I cant take my kids for a holiday even :(
I applied for a purhibited step order for my husband not remove my child abroad back in 2011, we sorted things and we got back together, and the judge the last timewe saw him he said the case will be discharged , we are back together my husband applied for renewal passport for my son they wouldnt issue the passport because they said the purhibited order is still going , now how will i apply and where to cancel this order.
Kind regards
Waf
My ex partner is forcing me to sell our home and so i will have no choice but to buy another property with our children in another part of the country where i can afford. It would be crazy to throw the very large amount of my half of the equity on rent until its gone. So i feel i will have no choice but to move away as there is nothing i can afford to buy or rent in this high priced area. My question is...(as we are not married), does my partner have the legal right to stop me and the children moving away?
Thank you for yr help.
Thanks
he took me to court to see my daughter but after 2yrs of courts he never complied
with the judge so now the court is finished
and he left me with a prohibited step order
so anytime I want to travel I can only go a month.This person has done the same 3 times , he has 3 kids from different women
and hasn't help noone, my daughter has 4 yrs and my partner has been in her life since she was 4 monthsand she call him daddy and loves him dearly.so I need some advice on how to go about this prohibited step order.please can you help me
Recently I have split, and my ex partner is using my daughter as a weapon.
She basically ran off with a married man who has walked out on my daughter.
My daughter has said on a number of occasions that the man is not nice and has hurt her feet and arms which I can only assume if from trying to dress her etc
I heard that this PSO order can also be used to prevent my ex from having my daughter around her new partner. Is this correct or is there a better way I should approach this.
Many thanks
I have just spoken to social services and they have advised me to take out a prohibited steps order to stop my ex partner from having contact with my daughter. He has not had contacted now for nearly two years, he suddenly turned up at her school on Monday and stayed outside the school until 4:30 pm. He has threatened to take her and now the school have had to put safety measures into place to stop him from doing this.
I was hoping for some advice about a steps order. Long story short the ex husband has now remarried and lives in USA. He used to have regular contact with our daughter but now his absence means he wants her to go and spend time with him in long periods in school holidays. She's nearly 7. My concern is the mental manipulation he gives me if I even say anything about how hard being a single mum is that his instant response is that if I can't handle it he'll have her. I am so concerned that he may take her and not bring her back and i'd ike to know what I can put in place to stop this happening? She has lived with me continuously since she was born as out relationship ended when she was very young, so the longest period he has ever had her was once for 2 weeks. Thanks in advance
She has not advised me or my solicitor that she has given our tenants notice so I am presuming only two things: She intends to subject our children to over 1.5 hours travel to and from school twice a day or enrol the children in another school in another area the other side of London to that which she is living now. That would be the 4th school in 2 years!!! - My concern is that neither of these options, I believe are in the children's best interest and will continue to affect their emotional wellbeing as we move forward. They are still very young. The question i have; sorry it's take a while to get to - Can i obtain a Prohibitive Steps Order to stop my ex-wife removing the children from school without advising or agreement from me?
Thanks
My question is, that what chance does she have of having the PSO overturned and obtaining my sons passport, taking into consideration that she removed my son, I don’t know where he is, and that she has said about bringing him up in Russia, along with stopping me from seeing him in every possible way, I am due to go back to court later in the year Re an access order.
His Mum and his brother are both verbally abusive and his brother has violent crimminal convictions and involved with various drug related offences.
The children have never had contact with the brother and his mother will only have contact with the children during the periods of seperation that I and my x husband had during our previous relationship.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
