Has anyone encountered "termination of parental relationship" or heard anything about it? I came across this term in a few cases I read about post secondary. The paying parents were not always successful due to abuse or anger issues (I mention this for a reason) but I havent seen anything outside of post secondary.
Heres why I ask. My partner got a message from his youngest saying she no longer wants a relationship with him and she used the words "anger" and "abuse" in her message. There hasnt been any anger or abuse which was the confusion. The only precursor we can see was from the last two years when his ex withheld access and he sent correspondence documenting the interference and requesting make up time. The last instance being last christmas. He hasn't spoken to kid since last fall. (I wont bore you with details but his lawyer saw nothing wrong with any exchanges between him, the ex and the kids).
The problem with her cutting him off is that shes 14, has five years of activities still and then school. Hes wondering what his legal stance is when it comes to permission for stuff and access to information. School is a no brainer but the ex travels with kid and there is a history of kids traveling to other countries with other individuals. He knew this was only a matter of time since his ex has been grooming this "monster dad" attitude since before the divorce. He has documentation from the time during the separation/divorce, from his previous lawyer when they had to send notification to the ex and her lawyers, as well as three years of correspondence about this continued interference/withholding behaviour from ex. Now that kid is old enough, she has told dad to get bent. Problem being that he is still responsible for her in various aspects.
Also, how does this affect his access to information? Hes had at least four instances now where he has had to invoke the court order to get medical, educational and extra curricular info on kid and was met with a confidentiality clause on the files from the service provider.
He doesnt want to go to court to force anything, he just wants to protect himself going forward now that all access has been cut off and all information sharing has been stopped.
Thoughts? You can imagine how I feel about the way hes been treated. It was bad enough witnessing the break down last summer and at Christmas but the total devastation last night was heartbreaking. Hes walking a fine line between feeling vindictive and non-feeling today.
