Hi
I am the mum of a 3 and a half year old daughter. She was born in Queensland in early 2014. Her father was living with me at the time but left me at some point just prior to her birth then changed his mind but ultimately left a couple of months after she was born. He left the state late september of 2014 to NSW. He did not tell me he was leaving the state but was going to Brisbane and would visit monthly .
I moved to WA in november 2016 back to family. I have 100 care for my child. Her fathers current partner has sent her christmas and birthday presents, and they visited once in nov 2016 and my daughter did not remember him.
He has not made any arrangements for any further visits and she is too young to manage a phone call by herself.
I do not wish to contact him any more personally about our daughter as his partner has interfered and sent emails to myself and my parents from his account and I ant get a guarantee its him Im addressing. She has also cut contact between him and his older children on New Zealand and I do not want the same tesult with our daughter.
I would like to get legally recognised sole responsibility for my daughter as I have been her sole carer anyway and put in place my parents and sister as emergency guardians in case something happens to me.
I have tried mediation already and going again tomorrow. My ex wants his partner consulted and involved in any plans and is not allowing any private communication between him and I about our daughter. She has sent slanderous emails about myself to my parents and do not want her or my ex to have influence on my daughter due to their behaviour.
I would like her father to have contact with his daughter when she is older and would like him to arrange this through family court, not through me as he does not keep his word .
I would also like to change my daughters last name to my maiden name. I am divorced and still have my married name so it was irrelevant to her at her birth. My maiden name appears on her birth certificate but not as her surname. I want us to have a family surname and her fathers name is not relevant anymore as he left a long time ago.
I just want peace of mind that I have full and sole responsibility and care for my daughter and will still receive child support from her father. I do not wish to exclude him from regular visits that he would schedule and stick to at his expense.
She is young and visits and contact would change as she grows and will be her choice when shes older.
Apparently her father can pick her up from kindy next year legally if he wants and I do not want that to happen. The administration registrar told me this when I enrolled her. No one can pick my daughter up from day care as it is this year except myself and my parents. I also do not want him to take her away and not return her at the agreed time in the future. Although he is interstate I would like peace of mind he would have to consult with me and not just take her.
