Alright googoo Thanks for the reply, your message gives me some hope I know for sure that one day I will be there. Only draw back is my son though and what will happen with that I realise my chances are slim with taking him but who knows glad things are working out for you guys, and yeah alot of people commenting not from scotland won't realise as much as we might. I think if you have a shot at a better life then your silly not to atleast try it out, but as a say that would be very difficult without my wee right hand man at my side Time will tell What line of work are you guys in if you don't mind me asking?

Ok. The type of answers I was expecting to be honest. Ok guys Thanks for replying I appreciate it. Back to the drawing board I guess

Its not what you know sadly its what you can prove in court is the problem. Yes legal advice goes without saying. As a said before this country is a shambles and the people that run it are no better. I will leave here one day but will do everything in my power to take my son with me.

Poisoned*

Its certainly a tough one, no doubt about it. I hope things work out. Who knows, may even see you on the other side. Last thing I want to cause is arguments on here. Great hearing views from different angles tho. can't stress enough that im doing this in my sons best interests. I know from personal experiences that manipulation can cause deep problems long term in a childs mind. With me that wont happen. I grew up in a one parented family and ended up just fine. Point im making is if children have a parent who conducts themselves in the right manner and are proper rolemodels there children will grow up just fine. I also realise its important to have both parents I get that, but only if both parents give as much as each other. Sadly in this situation its not the case. I have a son being poisened

A know, a know what your saying. The chances are probably slim to be honest but I know if I can provide a plan, including where we'd work. Where he'd go to school, how he'd get too and from school and how he'd keep in touch with his mother I think I have a genuine chance. Like a say things have changed. Fathers have equal rights now. All im basically saying is if I can prove theres a better life out there for him im hoping I have a chance atleast

Noworries jodipodi didn't mean to come across as cheeky or that sorry if I did. Just doing as much groundwork as I can, dont want to leave any stone unturned. Thankyou all again for your replies. I'll give those websites a try x

Thankyou. Well the plan was wherever my partner got work id go for a licence in that state and take it from there. Just sending out feelers just now really. Groundworks. Want to make this right. One chance so gotta make it count

Thanks again for replying well unfortunately for any father when parents split mothers automatically are the residential parent and its down to us fathers (in some cases) fight. Fight or flight. Yeh course there has to be a plan in place and thats partly what my original post is about. I want to know about prison officers and electricians. Thats what I need answers and advice on. I appreciate what everyone is saying

Not all fathers are the same. Not all mothers are the same. Because a parent has residential contact doesnt mean its for the best Some of us out there would give anything whereas others are only using there child as a weapon. Rest assured my son isn't growing up with a messed up head. One thing I guarantee if had the 'more say'.

To be fair he is 4 years old, may sound harsh but courts, maybe wrongly wont take into consideration his views. If I can prove its for the better I have a chance. Im not talking about this happening just now im only doing ground work. The facts speak for itself about australia. The uk, heading for world war 3 etc is not an option for me the country is a shambles run by someone whos a shambles. Like I said ive thought long and hard about this. I want advice on how to make this happen. Not how not to

Paedophile, drunks etc of course you'll get that everywhere. Zoom out for a bit and look at why australia is appealing to most. Too healthcare, schooling, lifestyle the list goes on. The only con is it being the other side of the world. Like a said, australian cities ranking top 10 most liveable cities year in year out for a reason. You'd be lucky if my town made top 300th!! Is there anyone with positive info

Firstly thanks for replying I'd also like to express my concern as to why you would say weekends and holidays, thats irrelevant I have equal rights albeit weekends or not. What if I were to say she manipulates my sons mind into turning him against me and my family etc. Changing his surname at nursery etc. I for one grew up in a broken family and know fine well what things like that can do long term. Australia has 3 of there cities winning hands down in the top 10 most liveable cities in the world year in and year out for a reason, I for one hate how this country is run and where it is heading. If the shoe was on the other foot would you be saying this to her since she has contact more than I? Im a little sick of fathers being tarred with the same brush. This is 2014 now and things are changing. Think its time for people to wake up and stop granting mothers more just because there the residential parent. Speaking from experience!

Firstly thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read this Im hoping anyone out there is, or has been in a similar situation and can help us out at all im an electrician to 17th edition, just passed my compex 01-04 for working in explosive atmospheres, my partner a prison officer. I've been in my line of work including apprenticeship for just over 10 years. My partner 5 years in her profession. I have a son to someone else who is 4 at the moment. Can anyone roughly tell me if any prisons are recruiting or useful websites to check out which I can find this info out and what kinda lifestyle can we achieve with our professions? How do parents manage juggling there new jobs down under with simple things like taking kids to and from school? I know this is a long shot and many may wonder why, but has any non residential parent on here been granted the ability through court to allow your child to emigrate with you I understand many will be againsy this but I truely see a better way of life there for my son and will have a pot of money aside for travels with access to his mother. In no way I plan on moving just for the sake of taking him away from his mother, this is something I've thought ling and hard about and I only have my childs best interests at heart ie opportunities and a brighter future. Sorry about the mega long spiel thanks in advance tony
