Perhaps I should have been clearer.

My decision to support N, N's mother (who had asked H&W to adopt him) and my son and his wife, may just have had something to do with the fact that N's mother spent the 5 months before he was born in a refuge to escape the father and the father's family (with whom N would live) had an 'interesting' reputation in their local community. I could continue, but I think you get the point.

I only spent £25,000 because I genuinely believed that it was in N's best interest to be parented by H&W.

My point is that it should not have cost me £25,000 to resolve the matter before a judge. The system is, as you correctly observe, dysfunctional, and needs to be fixed to give everyone fairer access to justice.
