Hello,
i need advice on what to do about my children and ex-partner who is going to prison for 6 months or more for assault.
she does not work and lives in social housing with my 2 children and another younger child from another relationship that has since finished.
she wants me to leave my job and private rented 1 bedroom flat and go and live at her 3 bed social housing house until she gets out of prison..which of course i will not agree to as i am not on her rent book, i dont have a car to get to work and she lives over 30 miles away.
i would like to know how i go about getting custody of my children so they can live with me? (a boy and a girl) how i can get them to a local school so they can go to after school clubs so that i dont have to finish work early?
would i be able to get social housing as we cant all live in a 1 bedroom flat that i privately rent?
do i have to get advice from social services?
any help please.
thanks
