Most of you know about my BIL and 13 yr old niece. The latest is that my sister and her OH have been to soliciters for advice and have been advised to have duel parenting with my BIL, they had a chat with him about this as the next step if he doesnt agree is to go to court about where she lives etc.
This will involve him giving up any financial benefits that he continues to recieve, his reaction to this was as we expected and he said he would go bankcrupt !!! He really makes my blood boil, he didnt give his daughter a christmas presenT, it is her birthday next week and he has no intentions of giving her anything no card no present, yet he expects my sister and her OH to give her a present ( they always have ) and to entertain her friends with no thought about how they can afford it. They were declared bankcrupt themselves and are on pension credits. They have just payed out for her to be in panto they had to pay for the little things that she needed as well as a weekly contribution, which he wouldnt go to said he couldnt afford £7 for the ticket, he wouldnt attend the school for her GCSE options. He is supposed to give them £40 a week but doesnt make the effort to give it to them, yet he still gets the child benefit, tax credits etc for her. They were told that they could be in trouble because they are on benefits and havent declared the money he is supposed to give them that they could end up in trouble, they didnt even think about it.
My niece in the mean time is so much better we have had problems with her but she is learning and while at the panto someone said to my sister that she is a credit to them and my sister said no she is a credit to her mum.
I dont know how to end this rant from me.
Thanks for reading and your continued support.
They have now sent the information back to the solicitors and he will be hearing from them

There is going to be no quick or painless way to do this, but it sounds as though your other BIL and sister are doing the best they can. Any sensible solicitor (or judge if it went that far) would see that I hope. Also your neice is old enough for her feelings to be heard and taken into account too.
