Hi there,
Im just looking for some advice, it’s pretty long, so I will try and keep it as short and detailed as possible. I was wondering what the likelyhood of being granted soul parental custody would be?
My sons father hasn’t been involved in his life since the day he was born. We were still together when he was born. The minute he was born in hospital he left. He took paternity leave and went on a holiday and didn’t see him the first 2 weeks of his life.
My son was born late 2018, and he only started paying child support in the April of 2019 - not the full amount and I always have to ask.
he makes promises that he will come and see him but always cancels. Which I have in text message.
he has never had him over night, even for a day, never changed a single nappy and I’m almost positive he wouldn’t even know how to make a bottle.
he missed his first Christmas, and his second. He missed his easters. He also missed his first birthday saying he thought it was the next week.
he has never met my family. He refuses to let me post photos of him on fb. He refuses to acknowledge his son also on fb as he hasn’t told his family about him. My son is almost 2 and his grandparents don’t even know he exists. I’ve tried getting a hold of them but he always shuts it down, so I’ve given up on trying to find the family.
we even saw him down the street and he walked straight past and got in his car and drove off, next minute he calls and says yeah sorry I’m a bit busy. So he even refuses to aknowledge him in public.
he is almost 2 and he has seen him 60 times. With those 60 times they weren’t for 24 hours. It was more 20 mins here and 40 mins there. So very very little interaction.
whenever he does come and sees him my son will not go near him And he will crying hysterically. He will then ask me what’s wrong with him.
Father’s Day past and he didn’t contact.
The story is endless honestly. But that’s basically a small piece of the cake right there.
I guess I want to know what would the likelyhood of getting sole custody? Is it possible to be able to change his last name? How would I go about that?
Any advice would be much appreciated
