Full custody?

[Les35]

I have a 2 year old son and we both live with his Dad but we are not in good terms. He asked me to leave and find my own accommodation but he wants me to leave our son to him in which he said he will apply for full custody.. Can he do that? Can he take my son away from me?

Hi Les35

I’m sorry you are in this situation.  Not knowing whether something is allowed can add to the frustration.  You can always contact our Single Person Helpline.  They should be able to help you explore your options.  Best wishes.

Hi Les

You have to contact your local housing team at the council. They should be able to help you with somewhere to live. Even if it’s temporary until they find you somewhere permanent.

Your partner will have to have a very strong case as the courts almost most of the time will rule in favour of the mother.

Sorry to to hear this! I sue my ex girlfriend and won the full custody as a father against mom but I won because she just left and didn’t had any feelings for my daughter. In your case, I do not think he can get a full custody if you are willing to raise your kid. Hope all gonna turn up ok for you and the little one. All the best!
