Re: Fathers rights
See, this is the thing. While she is off having the life of reilly, what is happening with the little boy. Let your partner, for the moment, correct him when he is wrong. And yes, 7 is old enough to know not to pick on little ones! Nobody knows what is happening with the 7 year old at home and as an only child with this mother, he has to contend with a sibling when with his father.
She was probably happy when in the other relationship but now it is gone, life is not the same. Who do you snuggle up to at night, who does she have? I'm not taking her side, I promise.
When your partner gets to court and gets his access sorted, she cannot dictate. The only thing a judge may say is the child is not to be in the pub or bookies! Heard it said!
Now, she may kick up, when the little boy goes back and she starts asking questions, but what can you do? She may or may not turn up at the access and then its probably back to court or maybe a solicitors letter will do. Maybe a phonecall to the local guards would do the trick also. Your partners access will be under court order so the guards may act when she does not turn up.
It is not easy, that is a guarantee, but before you and your partner know it, that little boy will be 18, all grown up, and making his own decisions!
Best of Luck
