GOT a legal question? Blog with our experts from Brydens Lawyers @1pm today.
Debbie asks: I recently separated from my de facto and he has recently stated that he will be getting custody of the kids (12 and 15) and taking them away.
Due to his history I do not believe that he is fit to look after them fulltime.
What rights do I have as a mother and what are the first steps I should take?
Brydens answers: The court, not your former de facto, determines custody issues.
In doing so the interests of the child are paramount in the court’s determination of such disputes.
In the circumstances it may be in your interests to take pre-emptive proceedings seeking an order of the court if, as it appears, it will be unlikely that you can resolve the question of custody with your ex de facto directly.
