I don't trust my ex at all. And I really mean that. I don't believe a word he says as he has proven to be a liar and a cheat.

We have a little boy and we used Family Mediation to work out regular access that suited us both. I do believe in my little boy maintaining contact with his Dad.

I thought that we might even be able to work on our friendship but he quickly resorted back to his old ways and to be honest things are now much worse than they were before.

My biggest fear is that he won't bring him home one day and there is nothing I can do about it. Because he has parental reposnsibility apparently he can take him whenever he likes and I would have to go through the courts to get him back. This is really stressing me out, I'm also worried that he has a passport for him and may take him out of the country.

I believe that he wants no real responsibility for our little boy and is only keeping in contact with him as he feels its his duty. But he has used our little boy against me before and even refused to bring him home so I had to go and fetch him. Even if he did refuse to bring him home I don't really think he would keep him, just long enough to cause me the upset, but it's a chance I don't really want to take.

I feel everything I do he counteracts and whilst I want to protect my little boy I'm scared that if I take any further action it's going to make him worse.

Any suggestions as to what i can do?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (23 July 2007):

Seek a solicitors advice.

Maybe you could get a residence order through the courts so no-one can take your child out of the country.

This will stay in place until your child is 18. Legal advice is the only way forward if you genuinely feel that this is a threat to you and your child.

Needless to say if anyone does try to take him abroad without the courts consent then they will be in a lot of trouble.
