what rights do i have. my ex wife tried to commit suicide and my son wants to live with me now.?

Answer 1

See a solicitor - initial consultations are free so you can find out what you have to do.

Answer 2

Well if your the ex-husband you should have rights and it may be easier on you in court to get custody of your son just because you and his mother were married. You don't have to go through dna test. But if she tried to commit suicide then she really needs help and maybe the child can do better living with you. Go to family court.

Answer 3

Texting is private and intimate. Texting is the perfect way to create a private and intimate world between you and the man or woman in your life. Learn here https://tr.im/Z9WTx
For women in particular, texting can end up being a fun “game” where they can do or say anything (even things they would never do in the “real” world). Texting is non confrontational. Odds are your relationship ended on a heated note. I don’t know why you and your ex broke up, but there was probably at least one (if not a few dozen) big fights. Done properly (the way I’m going to teach you), texting is simple and subtle. You can slowly feed your ex tested and proven messages and ideas without the risk of either one of you flying off the handle, falling back into old and destructive patterns, and throwing plates at each other.

Answer 4

a permanent solution for a temporary problem... look since you basically said dont say "dont kill yourself and that im too young." well, first off, yah you've only experienced 14 years of life. not only that, you still have decades of life to experience. the thing is that, everyone gets ONE LIFE. once your dead, theres no coming back. everyone gets ONE LIFE to live the moments and whatnot. so your having a horrible time and it sucks. well consider the fact that at least you have a home and your not some poor child living on the street. be thankful for what you have, for example A LIFE. there is no such thing as a perfect life, everyone is dealing with some kind of problem in their lives that is impacting them emotionally and physically. i have an autistic sister who screams, yells and throws fits all the time. Shes 20 years old. MY whole life i grew up with her, and guess what? im still alive. My cousin had committed suicide because he thought he was gay.... he had a set future for him with tons of scholarships that would have put him through college for free. its just sad cause now he will never know if he would of found someone else or how is life would of been.... his family was devisated and heartbroken for years. :/ you still have college ahead of you to experience. plus, you know how many other gay guys that are out there in this world? you will surely find someone else. it will take time, but in the end its worth it. your gonna hear other people try to tell you basically the same thing, but just know that once you take your life, you're never coming back. you will be leaving behind your family, relatives, and friends. its a permanent solution for a temporary problem. temporary could last a long time, but it will eventually end. just think before you act. I hope you make the right choice and continue living your life. others who are gone wish that they could have lived to be 14, but instead died before that.... consider yourself lucky to be 14 in some cases.......

Answer 5

if your son wants to live with you i would go for a residency order but not full custody this will give your wife time to sort herself out with the right care he your son was scared to see his mother if he did go through this and will want to live with you but later if she does sort herself out you could be blamed and he may turn on you and go back to her as soon as he is a certain age he can do the walk by showing your wife and her carers judge and above all your son that you don't want to take him from mum but will take him to live with you for a long while this will make certain she doesn't succeed in committing suicide next time and make sure that you come out the clean man and a decent one then if no change apply for full custody she could say it is your fault she feels like suicide the marriage the baby blues and now this but do it this way and you are not hurting anybody

Answer 6

I dont think anyone should give you advice without knowing the full circumstances. If your wife is trying to kill herself then she obviously is extremely unhappy and has huge problems which need help. Be warned that your son will ALWAYS love both of you and if your wife is desperate, taking your son of her may be the last straw. Anyway no social worker/judge would give you full custody without knowing all the facts and the people answering your question do not know all the facts. I agree with the person who suggested that maybe you should have more compassion for the lady who carried YOUR child for 9 months. As I say whatever happens remember that she is his MOTHER and you will never ever break that bond. I think your son could possibly do with some support and although you do not give his age I think it may well be worthwhile letting school know the situation. I wish you all luck, including your wife. Life is very precious and believe you me if your wife does succeed in killing herself your son will NEVER recover. Think on, support the woman you loved and maybe offer to have your son more regularly. As for the people who are calling the woman crazy etc etc, We should not cast judgment on situations we know nothing about............... live and let live.

Answer 7

my husband and i have been in this situation with his ex wife. unfortunately social services won't take your son away from your wife unless he witnessed her trying to commit suicide or was in the house at the time?. silly i know as there can always be a second time. if he did witness it go to them straight away and say that you re concerned for his welfare.

go to see a lawyer to start custody proceedings, if your son is old enough he can choose who he wants to live with.
keep a diary of everything that happens between you, text messages, phone calls abuse and most importantly how your son is taken care of whist in your wifes custody. without being too obvious check for bruises and ask him subtle questions on what his week has been like at home. the diaries are really good in court as they can not argue with facts and dates.
it is a long process as we've been going through it for nearly 2 years now but we do have the little boy living with us which is a relief.

whatever you do try not to slag his mother off to him as he'll only resent you later on as he has to come to his own decisions. if you do win custody encourage visits with his mother.

good luck i really feel for you. just be a good dad and don't stop fighting for him :-)

Answer 8

You should be thrilled that your son wants to live with you. Get a lawyer immediately and see if you can get custody. If she tried to commit suicide she is unstable and it's your best shot at physical custody. Let her have lots of visitation, though. Boys still need to see their mothers.

Answer 9

You have rights as his father. I'd think your ex-wife wouldn't argue the arrangement - have you talked to her?

Is she hospitalized? This is the sort of thing that can easily qualify her as an "unfit parent" if she's not open to the amicable negotiation of your son's preference as to where he lives.

Is he 14 years of age?

I'd talk to your ex before talking to a lawyer. Just tell her he wants to live with you. Surely she will understand and wish him well. Poor kid. Gently, gently.

Answer 10

consult a solicitor that deals with family law for advice. However if your son is old enough to make up his own mind and your ex wife agrees there shouldnt be a problem but see a solicitor anyway

Answer 11

i agree with john, why did she try to kill herself? that is a big question,how old is son, how stable is she now?has she long history of this? is she recieving treatment? are you completely innocent in all this....i only ask because i have kown mums driven to the brink by vindictive ex's and it doesnt make them unfit mums, it makes unfit dads. assuming thats not the case, can you offer some practicle support, have him more etc if he continues to say he wants to live with you, can you approach his mum and discuss. maybe shared custody, but just taking her son is cruel and may not be the best thing for your son, he is probably very scared at the moment...and needs lots of support, preferably from both of his parents if possible.
