exsisting residence order put in place when she was a baby

[suzanne_6265]

Hi me and my daughter have been arguing a lot but i just put it down to her being a teenager, she went to stay at her dads after one of these rows and was supposed to come home in a couple of week but when i ask for her to come home she refused and they both wont even answer a phone call to me. I went to the school to see my daughter and she ran off, i have tried mediation but got nowhere with that. My daughter is 12 and she said she wants to live with her dad, i want her to come home he is a registered alcoholic and goes on a drinking bender that could last for weeks a couple of times a year.
Can i get her back.

Hi, you can get her back, but you will need a Court Order to do so. It is strongly advised that you arrange to see a Solicitor as soon as possible or perhaps contact the Children's Legal Centre on 08088 020 008, to see if they can assist you.
