Has anyone any experience of their ex using custody of their child to sponsor their family into UK?
I used to post on the old site about my friend's struggle with her ex who was using his child to get a UK visa. Sadly he has succeeded. not only that he now has full custody (residence) of their five year old daughter. Social services branded my friend as "vindictive and manipulative because she reported her ex for rape and immigration fraud. The judge believed them and now she only sees her child twice a month for three hours, they say she has abused her child by carrying out a two year campaign against her ex!.
We now know he is sponsoring his parents over here on the basis of them having strong ties with their "granddaughter; they have only seen her once when she was 2 years old and she did not like them. He is also going to re arrange his nephews entry into UK who was deported three years ago. We are certain that once over here in the UK they will "disappear" being given fake ID etc, that's what my friend's ex did to get here in the first place.
What's the best way to deal with this?

Hi, my friend has limited contact (supervised) with her 6 year old daughter. I used to post on the old site about how her ex manipulated things. He now has care of her daughter but she wants to come to live with her mum. The family courts are just as screwed up as the immigration system. Does your ex have ILR? My friend's still doesn't but the courts still gave the daughter to him!
You have to keep fighting, my friend is fighting a different battle to the one she had three years ago but still fighting. Keep us updated, don't give up. I will be praying for you.
