In the office, I was waiting for an appointment with the principal regarding my daughter's settling in and generally seeing how she's going so far at school with all the changes.
Anyway, this mum was in there screaming about how she left her husband and he's not to do school pick up, if he does then she will be holding the school accountable. She was asked about court orders. There are none. The principal told her that if there are no court orders, legally they cannot stop him. They can call her and try to hold him until she arrives, but they cannot stop him.
She said they were to call the police, remove the kids, whatever, but it's up to them to not let him take them. Court orders were again explained.
I understand this mum was distraught, but what else can happen with no court orders?

The principals comment was right. Without court orders, they cannot stop the other parent taking the child. QUOTE Poor woman, it sounds like everything is a bit raw for her She could be the parent in the wrong. It isn't always automatically the father who was the baddie.

There could be a lot more to this than you know about. I have had my ex try and take my kids from the school after not seeing them for years. There were no court orders as I was advised to let him take it to court and he never did (he also never attended mediation). I wrote the school an e mail upon legal advice that asked them to call me if he came down again to the school. My kids don't know who this man is and it would be incredibly traumatic if he were to take them.
Also court orders are very expensive. Legal aid does not represent for court orders unless there are criminal charges against one of the parties. I had to pay for a lawyer's advice. Even if I was entitled to legal aid due to low income I wouldn't have recieved it as it's a family court matter.
I would also feel uneasy about relaying this info on the net. You don't know who is reading this, you maybe identifiable to the person/s involved and it may be considered to be a breach of privacy by them.

This is allowed if the parent has had no access to the children for a long period of time.
