PR & Residence
When we first met Martin, he didn’t have parental responsibility (PR) for his son. No order in place, his son saw him when his child’s mother agreed to it. Contact was sporadic. He had been too scared to make an application to court after being told she would return to her home country and vanish with his own son if he ever did so.
With our help, Martin obtained an order for PR and another that his child was not to be removed from jurisdiction (England and Wales). Contact continued to be sporadic, with a number of breaches of the order.
Supporting Martin through his heartbreaking situation, we assisted him in making enforcement applications while the case progressed. Eventually during a hotly-contested final hearing if was agreed his son should live with him and spend time with his mother.
We started assisting Martin after he booked an `Ask Us Anything‘ session – a telephone call to begin the process of fixing everything.
