Can a hands on father get residence

Courts are used to separated parents'' allegations and counter allegations. Without evidence the court will have difficulty in choosing between two versions of the same story.

If there is a PSO and Mum has applied for residence the courts are already involved. Generally when there is evidence that the established arrangement is both parents worked and shared care 50:50 or almost 50:50, including responsibility for children when they are at school, before separation it''s likely the courts will award shared residence 50:50 after separation. In your case it seems interim order reflects that.

When residence is shared 50:50 or almost 50:50 and one parent wants to move a distance away it may well be deemed less disruptive to a child''s schooling and friends for them to remain with the parent who isn''t moving.

Above all arrangements need to be practical. If the move is a distance away making 50:50 shared residence impractical your daughter is going to have to live mainly with one parent. If this is this case you could cross apply for residence.

Thanks Fiona,

You have been a great support and very good advise.

I am again and again being told on this and other forum, that being a man ( gender) I will not get residence

Yes the interim order in a way shows shared residence, the challenge that I see is in the unknown of CAFCASS recommendation.

I am going through one of the most difficult times of my life and would be greatly benefited if I can get to chat with u briefly ..........ur experience and posts show your seniority.
is there a way to speak briefly?

I wonder if the honourable CAFCASS officer will believe those allegations?

This allegations are false and bad.

Being a man does not meen you cannot get residence if it is deemed by the court and the recommendations of CAFCASS that it is in the childs best interest. .

I am male and have full residence of 5 kids, 4 girls and one boy. . ages at the time was 2, 5,6,7 11. . .

mine was cross applications for residence..

Thanks
Gents and ladies
Is there a number I can p,s speak to u on
My legal bill has already crossed ten thousand mark

It would help to get inputs from you as to how did u get residence of 5 kids?

What was it that u did correct ?
Or was it that the mum had some serious parenting challenges ?

These are very difficult time and advise that dies not cost 350 pounds an hour will help a lot.
