Can a mother take her older children away from their father? UK

She has taken them from their family home, blocked all contact including their children’s phones. We think she’s changed their SIM cards. She was cheating on him and they had a massive argument. What are the next steps? He doesn’t know where they are. She isn’t the best mum and has mental health issues. He has been in there their whole lives and lived with them since they were born and on birth certificates.

She physically can, and I'm not going to lie it's likely to be a long process getting his rights sorted out unless she is deemed a danger to the kids. This happened to a friend of my husband's recently and it took months before he could even get supervised visitation sorted. I'd suggest the person in question seek legal advice ASAP and prepare for a long journey. Focus on the kids and getting them back in his life and try not to go down a blame game- just show he wants to see them and will do whatever he has to to make that happen.

Possibly Pregnant?

I thinkbi might br pregnant, I have all the symptoms of early pregnancy, certain cravings and not being able to brush my teeth without gagging ect but when I take a pregnancy test it comes out negative.. should I wait for it to be positive before speaking to Dr's? I'm also a week late and have been having some cramping too.

Has anyone else experienced secondary infertility?

We have been officially diagnosed with secondary fertility. We’ve been trying to conceive our third (and most likely) final baby. It’s been over year and still nothing…

I’ve had a few chemical pregnancies. Were I got a very faint positive and then eventually got my period.

In contrast my oldest and second born are only 17 months apart 😅 So I was pregnant by the time my oldest was 8 month old.

We wanted to have our kids close in age. As someone with a big age gap with my siblings this was important to me.

We’ve been tracking my ovulation with strips and have talked to my obgyn and done tests. They truly have no idea why this is happening to us.

And as if it’s not bad enough… I’ve been getting more phantom baby kicks and still tests are negative💔

I just had my period

Has anyone gotten a false positive like this? I just had my period a week from today and have zero symptoms… What a blessing if this is true but genuinely confused!!!
