My partners three boys that he hasn't been allowed to see because of the mother have been taken into foster care. We have to attend court next week. Just wanting to know has anyone been through this and what the outcome has been. He has been told he has to go through the court process to have them placed with him.

That seems strange that he needs to go to court to have them in his care since he's the father?
That’s standard when one parent loses custody. It has to go through court and be documented through the right Chanel’s
Went though this is QLD with my step daughters many years ago. My ex, who I was married to at the time, hadn’t had regular contact with his kids before they were removed form their mum. He and I had to be ‘assessed’ as suitable carers for the kids. So we had to have a criminal check done, a child safety check done, a meeting with child safety and they checked to make sure the house was suitable for them to live with us. We then slowly had the girls move in with us. It was a long and slow process made difficult due to the fact he’d been an absent parent. Keep working with child safety and there is absolutely no reason why at the end of the day the kids would be given to your partner in the end. Especially if he is an all round good father. Good luck
My partner went thru the same with his 2 youngest, wasn’t allowed to see them cause the Mum made it difficult. They were removed from her care by docs and put into foster care. Partner has to go to court to get custody of them. It is a frustrating process but paid off in the end. Best of luck
