I am going through a divorce and 3 days ago my soon to be ex husband took my 20 month old out and didn't return him... This is the first time he has been seperated from me. He and his whole family threatened not to give my son back unless i sign their lawyer agreement letter. I am breastfeeding my baby still and they are ridding him of my milk now. Anyone been through a similar case of soon to be ex husbands taking your children away...? If yes, what did you do?

Hi All, Thank you for all your replies. My baby is being confined at my in laws house and there is no way the police or i can trespass. Im waiting for the court order now and only with that order i am able to retrieve my child. The only thing is the waiting game. I have no idea how long the court order will take to process. And what kills me is not knowing the welfare of my child. My mother in law even told me that My child doesn't need my breastmilk. The police, MSF, family centers are all not able to help at all until i get that order. This incident really makes me question the credibility of our help centers. My child and i are seperated for 12 days now, that itself is mental abuse for my baby. What if the process takes months..? Means I won't get to see him or hear from him for months? There is no immediate enforcement for this in Singapore. Where is humanity really..

It happened to me before.. Just that I'm a man.. I was talking care of my son for 5 days a week.. My wife took our son away and deny me any geniune access. She put our son into infant care and the infant care also deny me access. When my lawyers finally come on board.. The status conference judge refused to revert back to previous arrangements because my son is in infant care and that is a routine she doesn't want to disrupt. End up I have to accept a consent order that greatly differ from the arrangement I had because I miss my son immensely. Overall I feel any parents whom want to get an advantage of the custody application.. Can take the child away, enroll into infant care to form a routine.. Sad thing about our Singapore is we do not have a rebuttable presumption of 50/50. It gives the plaintiff too much advantage.
