First court hearing today ***UPDATE****

That is absolutely amazing news. Congratulations!

I have been following your threads,

This is brilliant news, I've just done a little smile to myself

I hope you can all have a treat to celebrate,

Well done to your Hubby, what a star !

?

Woo and a great big Hoo!!! So pleased for you all, especially the girls.

That really is fabulous news.

So pleased for you all KB3 X

Brilliant news for you all! MrKB has been fantastically strong in fighting his and the girls corner.

While you're patting him on the back, spare a pat for yourself, many people wouldn't be anything like as supportive, patien and understanding. And now the kids have you as a f/time stepmum. Lucky girls I say.

What brilliant news!

(i have been following but have never felt i had anything relevant to add/advise!)

The girls are so lucky to have you as their SM.

I bet they're ecstatic!!! x

Wow - fantastic news!!!!!

Does this mean you can now claim the child allowance benefits to help with the increased costs?

What are the next steps?

I'm so, so pleased for you all.x

Fantastic news!! ? Now finally you have some guaranteed security for the girls and a proper amount of back up from the Court to deal with her nonsense.

I'm really really pleased for you all, it's a big step forward in the right direction. ?

Woo-hooo ! 'm so, so pleased to hear this KB3, not only for you and your husband - but for the girls as well. ? You must be so relieved. Well done for sticking it out.

Thank you all sooo much, it really does mean a lot. I can't stop grinning! However I'm still a bit wow, this is real, I'm going to be a full time step mum - eeeek!

Kellfi, the girls are in school so they don't know yet. I can't wait to see their little faces! The eldest will be like "righ can I do this club now dad, and that club, and so and so goes to this thing on a Thursday can I go there too? ?

Alison, this does hopefully mean we shouldn't have any trouble claiming tax credits etc. I've printed the Child Benefit forms for MrKB to complete tonight. Finger's crossed!

How did it go for you earlier?

Congratulations!

I'm totally thrilled for you and your SDs.

And PMSL at the ex not wanting anything "on paper" - is that to prevent her losting Child Benefit or just because she doesn't want everyone knowing what a mess she's made?!

H has just text to say the girls both squealed when he told them then burst into fits of giggles. They are SO happy and he's realised it is worth it to see their happy faces ❤️

Oh KB thats such wonderful news. I cant get over just how positive that is and how happy and relieved you must all be feeling! Wow!

Oh how lovely. I am so glad its all worked out, they are lucky to have you both x

Oh, that's fantastic!

x

Hoorah! ? that's excellent news for you all, I'm so pleased ?

I've only just read this thread KB3, i'm thrilled for all of you. Maybe now MrKB will have a bit of a weight lifted adn the girls can have a bit of normality/stability in their lives. Well done to all of you, it calls for a celebration ?

Brilliant news. Here's to a happy and stable future for you all ?

Thanks all!

Somehow the jambalaya I was going to cook for dinner, using up the leftover roast chicken from yesterday, doesn't quite seem to cut the mustard. So, we are going out to celebrate tonight. Today needs to be marked. Well done to us all, including the girls for speaking up.

?

That's lovely, have a great time tonight, you will have to all get dressed up ❤️

I'm afraid it will only be a trip to Pizza Express or the like, I don't get home until 7pm. MrKB and I will celebrate ourselves soon though.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant news mate!!!!! xx

Ahh, but the girls can ?

You so deserve a bouncy man for that news - I am very pleased for you all!

Wonderful news

That's fantastic news - I'm so pleased for you both!

What completely fantastic news, I'm so pleased for you all. You and MrKB should feel really proud of yourselves, you've done a brilliant thing.

I'm not aware of the ins and outs, but I think I have the gist of it.

Absolutely and utterly well done to you all!

I've followed your story and I'm really pleased for you and Mr KB3 and the girls. Fab stuff

Hoorah! That's fantastic news for you both and the children ?

Oh KB3 that is GREAT news!!! You'll have to go out and celebrate ?

Hopefully the girls can now settle in fully and their mum can start to take a step back and realise that what she's been doing will have damaged the kids previously.
