Hi there, is this website definately for fathers only?
My ex has left the country in 2007, has last contacted his children in 2006 and has last paid maintenance in 2005. I cannot apply for passports for my children as he is not around to sign the application form, all I know is that he is in Scotland somewhere. What am I to do. It amazes me at how many fathers out there actually want to have contact with their children as well as regulary keep up with their financial responsibilities, yet so many of the woman just want to take these men for a ride. I would give anything to have my children at least hear from their dad, even wihtout him keeping to his financial obligations, it is sad when you have to explain to them that they have not done anything wrong, but yet cannot give the kids an answer as to why their dad does not even want contact with them
We help all parents. You could apply to the court for him to be stripped of his parental rights. You could also apply via the maintenance court for reciprocal enforcement of the maintenance order via an overseas country. They could also issue an arrest warrant for when he sets foot in RSA again. Passports can be obtained if it can be shown that the father is untraceable.
