YES. This is what I think everyone in this thread is failing to understand. Maybe it's related to rules in the UK? But I dont see how a mom can just pick up and run away with her kids. Have you been discussing with a lawyer? Is this allowable? It sounds like so far, you are just asking her for time...which is clearly not working. Shouldnt this be coordinated through the courts if you cant agree to something fair?

Like has been said...Im concerned that with this long of 'time away' and with your comments about moving away after divorce, that the court wont look favorably about your interest/dedication.

Maybe it's time to include that in your GAL. How can you start doing activities that bring you closer to your community?
