Hi ladies,
my ex has just blocked DS's going to a school, Whitgift, where DS got a place from Sep and which he's absolutely in love with. His dad forces him to stay at his current prep, which has made him miserable. DS is very distressed and refuses point blank to return to his prep in Sep. We have all attempted to make his dad change his mind but he doesn't listen.
A follower mumsnetter, who's a lawyer and to whom I'm very grateful, has suggested that I look into specific issue court order.
Before I speak to my solicitor tomorrow I was wondering if anyone of you has got any experience with it. I am especially concerned about how long it takes for the court to pass a ruling and whether this will secure us a place from Sep. There's a boy on the waiting list and I'm afraid once the place has been refused (Ex turned it down on Friday) the waiting list boy will automatically have it.
Also I am not sure whether I should call Whitgift to tell that I'm applying to court to have this issue resolved, and if the school would please keep the place because chances are very high that the court will approve of it.
My solicitor even though excellent, charges a fortune per hour and I'd like if possible to avoid consulting him. Can anyone suggest a good law firm with reasonable rates in Central London?
Thanks in advance to everyone.
