A father who walked out on his family before binning the Ukrainian refugee who he had originally left his home for has been reunited with his ex-partner and their children via a judge's orders.
Tony Garnett, 30, and 28-year-old partner Lorna - the mother to their two kids - welcomed Sofiia Karkadym into their home earlier this year after the illegal Russian invasion of her home country began in February.
However, the 22-year-old was soon enticed by security guard Tony and they began a relationship.
Now though, things seem to have gone south for the pair, as the Mirror UK report.
After running away with her and starting a four-month relationship just 10 days after she arrived in May, Tony has now cut Sofiia out of his life after a number of arguments.
She returned to Ukraine this week - and now Tony and his family are able to be legally together for the first time since the affair.
He had reportedly been the subject of a 'non-molestation' order after he quit the family home in Bradford this summer.
But a judge has now lifted the ban and Tony marked the moment by collecting his daughters from school and treating them to an afternoon of fun at the park, according to MailOnline.
"I am chuffed beyond words. It's so amazing to be back with my kids. They come before anything," Tony said.
Lorna said: "He is actually a wonderful father who loves his daughters to bits. I know he has missed them a lot.
"But I had to get a court order against him because I was really worried in case his girlfriend, who he left me for, persuaded him to run away to Ukraine with her and our daughters."
She stressed their romantic relationship is dead - and said he is fine with her having a new man in her life.
The affair came to a dramatic end late last month and the break-up culminated in Sofiia being arrested twice in two days.
She was released without charge.
