Forgot to add Piano... there is also the Hague Convention law re: your baby. Mums that I know with ex partners from overseas try to keep it amicable as much as possible, so that the partners will readily agree for the child to be brought up in mum's country. (and have them sign a paper that states so) If he turns nasty and wants to fight to bring the child back to Europe, you know the consequences, you hear similar stories at times. I don't want to scare you but before DBing it's important to cover the laws. You must be seething inside to keep being friendly to H but set your eyes on what's most important! :-)
