My mother took me to family proceeding courts 7 months ago for granmother rights, to see my 2 young children. My mother re- married a year ago to this man that is a well known drunk, the pair of them heavily drink at least 4 days a week, I have seen for myself.

But when the court done a alcohol test on her she stopped drinking 2 weeks before she had the test done, and passed it. which i thought was unfair cause that does nt mean she doesn t drink. she is unfit to go anywhere near my children i dont trust her or her husband.

She as also lied to the court about her husband not living with her, when he does,and is claiming legal aid when she got 25k in a bonds account left to her by her parents. and is claiming income support. she as never worked in her life,

I think it is wrong when I work to support my 2 children and I can t get any legal help it is to expensive. I am so frustrated there is no way she will see my children, so In temper i got in touch with the benefit fraud people and reported her, hoping that she would get caught and her legal aid would be stopped so she would nt attend court.

Does anyone no What will happen if the court give her rights to see the children and i still don t let her see them?

To cut a long story short. my mother as taken me to court for her to see my kids. My Mother and her recent husband are drunks well they drink at least 3 to 4 days a week. on a friday they go out from the morning and drink right through to the night and then carry on the next day up till sunday, and they do drink in the week, my mother doesn't no the meaning of a quiet drink, she drinks like a man ,12 pints and more, and then acts like a complete idiot. Anyway the courts have ordered her to under go alcohol testing.

But my worry is, if she doesn't drink for a week now, will her testing come back ok?

2 years ago, after my dad past away, 4 weeks after my mother met this guy who is a well known drunk of the village, after she met this mark they more unless binge drink all the time, and when my mother is drunk she is violant and a tart. i fell out with her later on cause of the drink and her behavour. i only let her baby sit for my son when my dad was alive and there with her. now she s taken me to court. As far as me and my kids dad is concerned we don t want her having anything to do with are children. she could nt even be bothered to see my kids on christmas day when i said she could, cause she was down the pub instead. Will the courts let her see my children?

Am so stressed today as i checked my pay and i got 32. 50 for a month. I work for a large company. i get paid every last working day of the month. so if i work in march i get paid for march at the end of april, as this is what i thought. i went on maternity leave the 1 st may. and now its the end of may i suppost to get my aprils pay. now my employer is now saying that i got my aprils pay at the end of april. which i no is wrong. To top that off only last weekend they told me im not entitled to smp pay from them which leaves me rushing around to try sort out maternity allowance which leaves me a month with no money to pay bills rent e.g. im 36 weeks pregnant and they have coursed nothing but trouble and bullying since they found out i was pregnant. i. ve had enough now and want to take action.. does anyone no where i stand? and what shall i do??

I live in a council 2 bedroom property and got a baby girl and a 3 year old boy and they share a room. i dont really want to move as im happy here, but need more space for the kids. could the council extend in some way or make the attic into a bedroom. Or would i have to do this? I am going to buy the property but not just yet. any ideas anyone??

I worked with my employer since the 12 october 2010. I went on maternity leave on the 1st may and am due 25th june. i worked out that i have been there over 26 weeks so should be entitled to smp pay off my employer. But had a letter off hr saying i wont be getting smp pay off them.

Can anyone tell me if this is right by the dates. as i am confused. had problems with this large company since day one.
