Well after taking me to the courts, something that I have never had to do in my life, I served xh with my claim under the childrens act, ie my solicitor says we should at least try and claim something from him for the sake of my son, cannot believe that he wants to negotiate a settlement without the need to go to expensive courts etc. wtf he started the whole damn business, he lit the touch paper to drag it through the courts, now he doesn't want to do it that way, I knew he didn't feel comfortable when we were there that day, either he's lost his bottle or he fears losing a good part of the home his son lives in. whatever it is making him think about what he is doing.
