child access wife left

[afcgus]

partners/married for 10 years my wife left, taking our 2 year old son matthew. she has accused me of physicaly assulting her, which i have not done ever. (we did argue occasionally) i moved out of our family home and signed the house over to her, she told me i could then see my son. one month later no contact with my son and she wont answer her phone. i am seeing a layer tomorrow as he has been on holiday. i feel there is nothing i can do to see my son. we were very close + how can i stop her slander

you need to keep a diary and log times and dates of conversations phone calls and show them to your solicitor, you will feel much better after talking to him/her as they have the knowledge in such matters, if you are a good dad and can show you will provide financially maybe until maintenance is sorted , open up an account for him and put money in so it proves in the time it takes to sort out contact ect you are still thinking about him good luck x

Turn a deaf-un to her rantings, (she's stressed)! Text her rather than phone keeping yourself quietly in her background. No threats etc as she will 'dig her heels in' & fight you like a lioness protecting cubs.

Keep cool and dont create a bigger rift with legals etc. Once she feels secure she will let you share your son. Good luck.

Good contact for children of separated parents depends upon parents learning to work together and going to court to force arrangements tends to make that impossible. A non-confrontational solicitor should be able to negotiate contact on your behalf , or alternatively if there was no abuse you and your wife could attempt mediation to find a way forward that can work for everyone.

In the long term if the Mother remains hostile you may have to apply to court, but you can be confident knowing that when a child lives with one parent the court's presumption is they should know and see the other parent, unless there is are exceptional reasons not to.
