Private post please (posting on behalf of a friend who has nowhere else to turn) Hi everyone. Are there any social workers or lawyers that could offer some advice? My friends ex partner has made up false allegations about him to the police regarding their daughter. This is started because he’s recently had a baby with his current long term girlfriend and they’ve just bought a house together. His girlfriend has a child from a previous relationship and he is (or was) going through the process of adopting him as him own. My friend has always had regular access to his daughter. Twice a week for 3 hours after school and every other weekend Friday to Sunday. He has always paid maintenance (up too £400 some months) and on a Tuesday he would even buy his daughter a weeks worth of food on top of the maintenance he gave his ex. This arrangement was working fine until his new long term girlfriend got pregnant (they’ve been together for 5 years and have bought a house together) his girlfriend has always got on every well with his daughter and her son loves the bones of her too. My friend then lost his job (shortly after his girlfriend had their baby). He signed on for JSA and basically gave his ex every penny of it for his daughter. Then all of a sudden he was arrested. Turns out his ex told the police that he had abused his daughter (untrue, he would never hurt her!) and now the police have said he can no longer live in the family home or see his kids unsupervised. This has meant his poor girlfriend has had to cut her maternity leave short and return to work and is now a single parent with two kids working full time. The police even interviewed her son and social services have too. Her little boy is devastated and very confused. This happened a year ago and during this time my friend has not been allowed to see his daughter or really spent time with the other kids. I know his girlfriend is thinking about leaving the area altogether so she can be closer to her place of work. She is finding this very hard and can’t even nip to the shops and leave the boys with her partner because he’s not allowed to be left unattended around kids. She’s complaining that his ex is now controlling her life too and she’s saying my friend should have been strict with his ex from day 1 instead of basically giving her everything she asked for. My friend is now suicidal. His ex has basically ruined his life and he feels there’s nothing he can do about it as the police are taking their merry little time investigating! A year it’s been! Is there anything he can do? No one will help him and I know his current partner is also struggling with all the stress. His ex has always been very controlling of my friend. Apparently she has also accused her sisters boyfriend of abuse so she has a history of making things up for attention. She also told my friend that their daughter was going to end up in a wheel chair as she has a bone disease and had severe asthma- both of which were completely untrue! What can my friend do to speed this up? Can he take his ex to court? Tia x
