entitled to it? A. As far as I am aware the main carer gets the allowance and this is not apportioned because of an occasional holiday. Q. Hi My sister left her ex last april, and although for first 8 wks he were ok and he saw the kids regularly he then turned and the kids have heard all sorts and now are not seeing there dad due to him threatening to keep them and constantly bad mouthing their mother and her new partner He has been trying to set her up to be a bad mother as he is now applied for residency, he has never spent one day with the kids on his own & seems to think its ok to let the kids talk and do what they want etc etc etc. She had to leave the house she were in because of it all (oh and his twin brother attacked her!! bruised her face badly and tried to kill her!) and she is now in a serious situation where she is being put into emergency housing B&B. Can her ex get an emergency residency order for the kids if she does this or stays with me? If the court date wasn't so near it wouldn't be so bad, we just need to know that she will hopefully still keep the kids, at the end of the day he's only doing it to be spiteful and to try and hurt her! A. Hi there I am sorry
