My partner has latley taken to staying out all night with my daughter,she says she will be back at a reasonable hour with my 2 year old but never does,11.30 pm last week staying out all night Monday.she turns her phone off as she leaves so I have no idea where she is. We are separated but still living in the same flat,as its tied in with my job.She said she has stayed at a friends,who is bieing watched closely by social services as her partner is a drug addict,with violent tendencies.social services have said that if he is seen at her friends address she will loose her children but ignores them and has him in her house regularly,both smoking canabis.\I am worried sick that my daughter is there although me and my ex agreed not to take her round there,this is ignored by her taking her round in the afternoons and lying to me. Have I got any legal rights to know exactly where she is? Can I insist she comes home at a reasonable hour? My ex has a short temper and has punched me in the face several times while holding my daughter,usually because I object to her plans or refuse to do as she orders,totally unreasonable with no compromise.Can I do anything to stop her?tried walking away she follows,locking myself in shed she then breaks the door in,then locks me out,threatening to call the police and say I attacked her. Can I get somekind of order to stop all this as my daughter is exposed to this constantly.

Why do you allow her to take the child to start with?

Who has legal custody of the child, has there been a child custody hearing ?

And if my child was in "danger" I would be moving or having a order of protection to move out the other person.

Put your safety and your child's safety above any MONEY or HOUSING
