I know its not illegal but how would you feel if your ex partner went and got your child christened without your consent or even your knowledge and you had to find out through other people?? There is a court order in place where each parent is to keep the other one informed of any relevant issues with the children and they failed to do this. Is there absouletly nothing that can be done about this?

or Fembo maybe...
It's obviously a crappy thing to do. But you can't exactly un-christen them, can you!

I don't know the legal ins and outs of this but QUOTE There is a court order in place where each parent is to keep the other one informed of any relevant issues with the children and they failed to do this. I would think this is a fairly major thing to keep the other parent informed of.

It wouldn't really bother me tbh. It's not something I believe in and it hasn't changed anything about the child at all (in my eyes). I would be more upset if I believed but was left out of the whole thing by the ex.

Look there is nothing you can do to un-Christen them (if that is a term) unfortunately. I am sorry that this has happened and I would feel sad that the two parents of this poor child can not communicate effectively. I know this child is your step child but I think in all honesty that you should let it go and stop fuelling the fire. Yes it was very distasteful what she did but the ultimate loser in all of this is the Child. I would personally butt out and let it go. I would stop the moral crusade and the point scoring and making her pay because once again the loser will be the child.

I think it would depend on the "why" he felt so strongly. If they were still together would he be saying "no" because of any particular reason (eg a different faith to him)? If they were still together and he would have agreed to have the child baptised, then I think he should let it go.

so if the father of your child took your child got them baptized you would go 'oh that was distastful' and move on?
