Hi all!
Here is the low down, a friend of mine got a call from his ex girlfriend the other night and she wants to meet her daughters after being out of the picture for 11 years, the daughters two of them don't know this woman as they were too young to remember her. Going back a bit, when she left, she was just going out for some smokes and never returned. After about 3 months, my friend filed for custody of his daughters and was awarded a temporary order for sole custody with regular access for the mother who never showed up for court or contacted anyone. 11 years has gone by, friend is married, has several children, girls consider mom to be the woman that raised them for the last 11 years and not this woman that claims to be their mother.
My buddy wants to know if there is any legal avenues he should pursue or look into.
I would think that this would be some form of abandonment and since the girls have been informed of the situation and want no part in it, there should really not be an issue here at all.
extra info; This is in Ontario, girls are 13 and 14, bio mom has made some threats over the phone, no contact in 11 years, not ever a card.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
