    she shouldn't be able to do so without your permission. However, see a solicitor.

    she claims she'll go to court tomorrow. I presume its standard stuff and cause for another argument on another day but im the father i can pay up and shut up.

    I'll ring my solicitor tomorrow. Thanks

    I'd advise the first thing to would be to call a group like treoir for advice. They could also organise a mediatio meeting between your childs mother and yourself. They could also suggest a suitable solicitor i believe. I would also suggest you don't call her evil and selfish as it doesn't paint you in the best light either.

    Are ye married by any chance? I have a daughter with my partner who is Canadian and my partner was checking up my rights as a father out of curiosity and surprisingly I have very little rights at all as we are not married.

    Your the natural mother .Your mother might think she has more rights than she actually has regards your childs welfare .

    This move may work in your favour oddly. Check out the laws in the country your child's mother is moving to. For example, in some states in the US, the court will award custody to the parent who is most willing and able to facilitate the child's access to the other parent.

    OP is the father, and he's talking about the mother of his child, his wife, not his mother, the child's grandmother :D

    she can not leave the country to go and live in another country without your concent. Get a lawer and get a court order to stop her leaving. I know countless people who have done this... plus if you are her father and leagal guardian then she has no rights other then the ones you allow her. Any other rights she has to ask a court for. Get a passport for your son under your name... that way she would have to change it.

    He cant get a passport that requires the consent of the mother nor can he do it in his name it has to be the name of birth cert.Are you paying maintenence or have you gone to court over visitation,do it soon as it will shed you in a better light with the judges.But ultimately whatever is done will be done for the childs benefit not the mother or fathers.
