thank you, I`ve been so worried all day, and couldn`t stop shaking earlier. I dont know what I`ll do if she isn`t on the plane

I hope she succeeds in getting her children with her. That may prove a difficult task. fwiw my partner took that EZY route earlier today, all on time!

I suspect that there will not be an up-date for a little while because they will have an awful lot of appointments to keep and loads of issues to deal with.

Whilst on the one hand I'm glad for her to be out of the situation, I can't imagine her feelings when (let's hope it's not, but....) she finds getting the children out 'retrospectively' proves a follow-up nightmare.

(quote)With regard to the children, and leaving them behind in Spain.
When the time comes to claim custody, The Spanish courts would look
favorably towards the Farther and In-laws,
citing abandonment of the children and the Mother having fled to the UK.!
without making any provisions for the children.
sorry to say, but this is a start of a very long road.!! )

All the best.

As she has been with her partner for 20 years the children may not be little tots, they could all be teenagers.

I just dont know what to do to help her, I`m not going to Spain till september. she said she has had enough, I feel she is very depressed, she also has her partners mother living with them. please can some advise me, she does have the internet though, but no landline. how can she get a passport ?

Hiya
You must contact her nearest International Womens Club online for her. We have one in Valencia and they had the samem situation with a lady and helped her tremendously (before I arrived in Spain I was told about it during one of the meetings). Trust me they will help you and your daughter xxx any probs message me back Jean

I wanted to update you with what happened with my daughter. She went to the British Consul in Malaga and they phoned me, she went on her own. I had to fax my details and pay for han emergency passport, I then had to book her on a flight. her partner took away her mobile, so I had no way of even knowing if she was on the flight, but thank goodness, she was. She has had to leave the children behind, as she was too frightened to take them with her. she was given her boarding pass by the police 9 hrs before her flight, so that she could go through to the departure lounge, and he couldn`t get to her if he went to the airport, which he did.
This was 2 1/2 weeks ago, today the police in Malaga phoned my mother to see if she was there, my mother said she wasn`t but told them the name of the city where she is staying ! my daughter thinks he`s going to come over here. she said that a few months ago he said to her if ever she left him he would find her and kill her. He may have our address, as she left all her letters from us, and other family members over there, so he`ll have several addresses. We are going to the police to see what they can do.

So glad she arrived OK and had so much help from the authorities in Spain. Many people make idle threats about killing the other person but obviously you cannot rely on that so obviously you need help from the UK police so I am glad that you are going to see them.

Hope all goes well.

I read a book last year called "Not without my daughter". Very moving.
Good luck to this family. It's very hard to leave even an abusive husband,
I know..and even harder to leave children, I imagine.
