My friend is an international student and her student dependent has been very voilent to her and their baby.Now that they are separated,he keeps on calling her and insists that she lets him see the baby.He insults her too.She has written twice to home office and inform them about their seperation and divorce proceedings.Will they take action and how long will it take???He now lives with a brirish citizen and is trying his best to stay permanently in uk.He was also once an ex convict charged with rape and spent time in prison but in his home country.

It is very sad to hear this, your friend may sort out things by reporting an illegal immigrant or other offence to UKBA. But, I assume that your friend would also be in trouble because the person was her dependent, and it appears obviously that neither your friend nor dependent, disclosed past criminal history in the home country, in their applications.

Ask your friend to speak to law and also inform HO. To me it looks pre-calculated steps from the offending person to prove that he is trying to take care of baby & mother but it's mother who is preventing it. I think Citizen Advice bureau is the correct place to get help from.

no, as we have read from the HO website,the dependent should be partner and married to you, but he isnt anymore.He was voilent to the baby and mother, now he is living with a british citizen and is planning to stay permanently in uk.howver my friend does not want him to stay as her dependent anymore.Plus he still calls my friend and insults her.now that she has barred his calls he cals her family and ask hows the baby.

I know a case where same thing happened but as the person who is abusing the ex-partner, he/she still is the mother/father of the child and the law gives him/her right to stay in touch with the child and they is a good possibility he/she would be allowed to stay here on those basis until unless he/she couldn't support the child financially.

if it is to see child then a third party would be involved (carer) who will then assist in meeting the child every week or at specified time.

She should report his behaviour to the police so that they have a record of it. If he continues with the behaviour and the police have spoken to him then there's more chance of any future visas that he might apply for being rejected.

That's irrelevant in the case of your friend. If your friend wants anything done about it then she has to report his behaviour to the police. She can mention the other kids to the police if she wants but they can't do anything about that unless the parent(s) of the other kids report him if they've been threatened too.

I think family cases are not treated so simply. If she goes to police....court, she must provide solid evidence to support her claims. And the partner would be allowed to defend. As far as the child is concerned, even after separation/divorce both parents have the right to meet/stay with kid, each parent may be given a different duration to stay with the kid.

The parent has rights but at the same time he will be asked why he isn't supporting the child financially. In democracies mvent00 both parties get to defend themselves so of course he can defend any allegation made against him.

If the OP is being threatened then she should report it to the police if she feels that she or her child are in danger. If her partner is texting then she should keep those as evidence, if she can record her calls somehow then likewise. But if she does nothing then she's not helping herself.

Of course everyone has the right to defend and I never said that she should not defend. You see my first post on this issue, I posted a link to report this offence to HO. But, if someone was living with a criminal dependent, everyone definitely will also question him/her. But, as you said, without proof anything would be difficult. It could cost a lot, if somone goes to police/court against someone without any proof. IsnÂ´t it?
