Wife demanding Separation and baby british National with her

Hi,

I need information for one of my very near frind. The Situation is, husband who is settled in Uk got indef leave to remain, wife got 2 year spouse and baby got british passport. Wife went back for holidays and now asking for separation in home country, she is not in UK. What are the means father can claim for baby who is british national baby is 6 months old. A quick response will be helpful.

Is the wife still allowed to travel back to the UK? I mean is her visa still valid? And exactly where is home country?

Don't mean to be nosy but I went through many years of misery due to my marriage and the only thing that kept me going was my children, no mother should be put through that (being separated from her child/children). Child's welfare needs to be taken into consideration first or are they too busy pulling each side and not thinking of that. Have they tried counseling?

I'm just sorry to hear the situation. Wish them both and the child the best possible outcome.

I'm sorry I could be of no help.

That sort of bring to mind the Molly Campbell case of 2006(Pakistan).

What are the means father can claim for baby who is british national

Do you mean what he can claim for a child who's not in the UK or you are talking about custody?

Yes father is looking for the custody, due to baby well being, due to medical conditions baby had and there is no medical facilities available in pakistan.

Does she planned to return to Pakistan finally? If there's no medical facilities good enough to support baby's health condition, the mum should show some responsibility.

Divorce or not, children welfare should top every responsible parents priorities. May be he should start by having a discussion with the mum first, they should put their differences aside and put their child's interest first.

In Pakistan mother has residence rights of child till the age of 7 under Family Law.

You should lodge family proceedings in UK to get child back to UK.

I think what HRY2005 has said is spot on, the couple need to put their differences aside and think of the child's welfare first.

God this brings back so many bad memories!!

There is no law in Pakistan its only for the rich. There is something that does not sound right here as well, more than the father I think the mother is not thinking straight. But in saying all that the child should be with the mother unless the mother is incapable of providing adequate care. If she is financially stable (the mother) and can provide for the child then I think mother might get custody.

This is not true , there is no law in Pakitsan.There is very strong law and if you qualify you would get easily decision.According to Family Law mothers has more rights in intial age.I dont think it is good for small child of age 1 to 7 to live with father.Not an easy thing to do for Fathers.
