well he can go see a solicitor and have her tracked down....i hate it when women use their kids as weapons, this happened to my son too, she didn't want him to see his son because she'd met a new partner....what gives her the rights to do that, i mean my son has a good job, he's stable, always pays his way, now he is going through hell because of her, so get your son to try everything possible to track her down....it'll be worth it in the end....good luck

Were they ever married? Who has legal custody? I am in America, so I am not positive of the laws of Scotland. But here, when 2 people are not married and a child is born and then they split up, they usually have joint custody until one party or the other goes through the court system to get sole custody. So if neither one has documents stating that they are the sole custodian, then they both have custody and she can do or take the child wherever she wants to without him ever knowing. Does he have any contact with the child's mother at all? I would have to know more details before I could really give a solid answer.

He must go to a solicitor with all documentation of the orginal settlement. Does he have parental control, if not then he needs to apply throught the courts. Unfortuantely the school willchek with the childs mother if he contacts the school and ask her permission before releasing any information. (to protect the child so a safeguard really)
He MUST go to a solicitor and I would think that if there is a residency order and access order in place that the solicitor will talk him through the best course of action. I would also suggest tht he informs social services. Suffice it to say that either way the mother is not doing herself any favours by not honouring court agreed access. This sort of thing makes my blood boil.
I know I dont know the full situation, but at the end of it all, we can understand all this as adults, the kids tho, wow do they suffer.
Best of luck

Scottish Law says he has no rights if they were not married, as for the school they will have been told to give no info and even when you find them the new school will have been told not to allow you near the child - been there done that etc. but of course the CSA will still want him to pay money for the child.

Get an attorney, if he wants answers and rights to his kids. Regardless, of what the circumstances, he has rights to know about anything that goes on in his child's life. Unless the judge has taken them away. I would tell him to seek an attorney and if he can't afford it, go to legal aid, maybe they can help him get an attorney, or he can just file a motion with the court himself and represent himself.

unless they were married he wont have any automatic rights.
he should see a family solicitor and keep trying. if the worst happens and he doesn't find his ex and child, atleast when the child is an adult he'll be able to say he tried and that his malicious ex stopped him from seeing his son.

They are not allowed to tell here in America. Have him get a lawyer. She is terrible, their son is old enough to know what is going on and he has a right to see his father.

just get some legal advice before doing anything, your son doesnt want to do the wrong thing or it may affect when he sees his child again, you will fine them, but just dont rush into anything without really thinking about it.

Why has she done that? Do you know the full story?
A malicious thing to spite him? Or protect the child???
(Sorry for asking this but sometimes women do have valid reasons...)

Shouldn't your son be the one trying to find out this information.
