i was married in a muslim ceremony, we never registered ourselves married in the authorities. im now divorced for 3 yrs also in a islamic way, have 2 children with my ex. I just wonder if he has parental responsibility here in UK? children do not have birth certificate, but they're holding swedish passport with their father's surname on it.

Seek legal advice your first half hour is free..........
I can't see things being in your favour at the moment because of the passport being there only documentation and it has his name on it..............
If you proove they are with you full time and that you plan to stay her they will help you............
Hopefully he won't come after the children........
Wishing you luck ........thinking of u

As you did not register the marriage I think you were not married in the eyes of the law. If this was prior to 2001 he will not have PR. I can't understand how your children do not have birth certificates. After 2001 if your partner's name is on the birth certificate that would give him pr.

If you are in the UK, and their father is not on the birth certificate, then he does not have parental responsibility. If he wants it, he will have to apply to the court, by completing a parental responsibility order. See the following website, for more information. I'm sure it will answer your queries.

as far as i understand each country has laws about child support. you would definitely need to contact some kind of family assistance service there in the UK. most likely they would have a service. every country has 'divorces', and parental obligations.
go through the telephone book and if anything, talk to an attorney there in the UK. you may have to. at least get some answers.
good luck.

Get legal advice fast, or risk losing your children. The Citizen Advice may be able to help, or go to a solicitor it may cost an initial amount ~(anything from £20-80) but worth it for you to continue being a mother.

how can your children not have a birth certificate?
He can apply for parental responsibility which is a document which needs to be signed by you both at court. But he doesn't have it automatically as you weren't married...

If you're not lucky enough to get a solicitor answering on this site you' better go see one, because you have been rather foolish to yourself and your kids.
