Can anyone advise on the below, as not sure where I stand and what is correct?
story.
I split up with 1st hubby in 2005 and was divorced, we had a child between us and aged 6 at the time of divorce, he was out of work and an agreement was made for him to pay when he got a job. basically he never did. I've never got any maintenance from him but he would see child every 2 weeks. Child is now 16 in sept and she hates him because of some real awful reasons and has basically said she doesn't want to see him again, she's been saying this since 14, but i've kept it going because she loves her paternal grandparents and as loser is living with them (age 49!) this was the only time she saw them. The visits over the last couple of years have been every 4-6 weeks instead of 2. She now doesn't want to see him for something that he's done which has blown every chance that she gave him, which is good in my eyes to be honest.
I'm sure at this age there's nothing he could do? plus never supporting her surely if he brought anything up this would all go against him. Does he really have any rights at all? and if she's coming up to 16 but going into further education as recent laws have changed, does he still have a "hold" over her at all?
any advice xx
