difficult daughter

Thanks for all your help. Great advice and support
Really appreciate everyones comments

So sorry Tina.

The court "battle" should not be between you & your daughter, but about the best interests of the child.

as Penstemmon says, you need Children's Services advice.
you also need to talk to these people: https://www.cafcass.gov.uk/

Another organisation that may help is Coram's Children's Legal Centre.

Good advice from all above , let us know how things turn out .

I would strongly recommend independent advice from a professional or trained person. Everyone has a particular situation and what is good in one circumstance may be wrong for another. The CAB is a good place to go as flickety says. Also family lawyers often offer a free initial consultation so worth finding out what help you may be entitled to. Is there a social worker involved? If so they may be able to give yo information about where to go for support and advice.

Good luck and I hope that you get the good advice you need.

Tina27 Have you visited your local Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) to ask for help and advice? Look them up online or in your local telephone directory or ask at the local library.The CAB is really good at giving free help and advice on matters like this.

I truly sympathise. I know a woman who will lie and convince everyone that what she says is true even though she has no proof. I don't know the answer, sorry.

How sad, I really feel for you. Have you spoken to C.A. ? I hope things can be resolved.

Welcome to GN

Tina this is terrible. I am not in a position to offer any advice, but I hope others will. You might also want to post on a thread called 'Cut out of their lives' where there are grandparents in similar situations and who can offer you support. They are a lovely bunch.

A difficult situation for you but I am sure someone on here will be able to advise.

Bump

Tina27 I suggest you re- post this in the morning,
Try this about 9am when more people will be up and about.

All you need to do to re post is to put the word "Bump" in "add comments" on the top right of the heading. It then appears on "last hour" where most people look first.

I am the lone GNer on here right now and planning to try to go back to sleep. If I don't see it there I will do it in the morning (if I remember).

There are a number of people on Gransnet who have experience of these sort of situations.
