Just wondered if anyone had heard about this.....
My SIL phoned me yesturday in tears (39weeks pregnant and ver amotional!) as she is a little worried. My SIL asked the biological father of her son if my brother could have legal guardianship over their son (JJ) as JJ knows my brother as daddy and the bio father does nothing to help out. (reason for it is something to do with nursery but not sure what) (Nio father pays £20 maintance a month - he earns £32K!) All was fine until my brother went to pick up JJ after his day out with him (only happens 1 x a month!) and his bio father said he is refusing to give legal guardianship to my brother as it means the council will no longer give him a flat. So basically what bio father is saying is that if he has legal guardianship over JJ he is entitled to a council property. Has anyone ever heard of this?
MY SIL is distraught as she has a feeling (and with good reason to!) that bio dad is going to fight for more access to JJ and is really concerned about this.
Anyone able to offer some advice or support?
