Hi folks this is a great site and this is my first posting i hope someone can advise me.

Basically, myself my wife my kids moved to newcastle 14mths ago.

Things havent gone well for me work wise, and now my wife and i have separated in the past 3 weeks.
Im back living in Dublin in my sisters hse and the pain of not seeing my kids is terrible.

My wife wants to remain in Newcastle with the kids, she has a good job and friends and the kids like it there.

We also have a hse we bought there.

I would like my kids to come hme but my wife has told me, no way.

She cant afford to keep the hse so it looks like we will have to sell up.

Can anyone advise me on my rights in regards to, my kids moving hme visiting rights, house rights etc?

Kind regards
Kalo
 
Re: separated dad

This might not be the best place for you to get advice.
There are excellent boards on www.rollercoaster.ie - Just For Dads, Single Parenting & also Separated & Divorced would be good places to start.
Sorry to hear of your breakup, I'm sure you don't know where to start.

Hi Kalo and welcome to AAM,

I assume that its Newcastle, England that you are talking about?

Re: separated dad

Hello Kalo,

Assuming that it is Newcastle England then your best bet is to sort things out over there.

Find a solicitor in Newcastle who specialises in family law and apply for legal aid. As the house will be in joint names it is still your resident address. Dont just assume because you are no longer there that that is the end of the matter. You still have a stake in that property. As regards your children coming back to live in Ireland then that will be for the court to decide. You can't just demand that they come and live with you. You should really remain in the UK until things are sorted because that will be easier for you.

If things were better for you workwise in UK would you still be wanting to separate? maybe you should return and try to work things out with you wife ( just a suggestion ). Now that you have had the three weeks to think things through what is your opinion on how things have turned out? Surely the children will be missing you and even if you were still living in the same area you would be able to see them.
