VerifiedChris The Lawyer : Hi and welcome. My first response will follow shortly. Please feel free to follow up if anything is not clear.
Chris The Lawyer : You need to start a family dispute resolution process, by contacting the Family Court. To help you reach your own private agreement without going to court, the free Parenting Through Separation parent information programme and the Family Dispute Resolution mediation service are available. The tenancy of the flat where you live at present is a temporary issue, and the longer term parenting arrangements will need to be resolved. But if you are the tenant, you could start by giving him a trespass notice and asking him to go.
Chris The Lawyer : he has no right to be there except as your guest at present.
