Before she died her baby was delivered and Max decided to name her after his own daughter. The baby’s father, Stuart, left Walford to grieve and when he came back he was with Rainie. But their union was intended only to convince social services that they were a good choice for raising the baby. It worked and they are in a strictly platonic relationship.

They have been good parents but Max wasn’t on board. He refused to give Rainie a divorce saying he thought Stuart wasn’t a good influence for Abi.

Later he reversed himself saying he had a change of heart but is he up to his old tricks? Express.co.uk interviewed family law lawyer Sarah Jane Lenihan and she said, “Child arrangements following a divorce are not dealt with as part of a divorce. The ideal situation is that the parties can reach an agreement between them but in the event, they cannot a separate children application (in addition to the divorce) would need to be sent to the court.”

She added about the BBC sudser couple, “If Max and Rainie were able to reach an agreement between them, there would be no need for this to be approved or formalized by the court. Some parents will enter into an informal parenting agreement between them to help keep a record of the arrangements between them but this is not legally binding.

“It may, however, be in this case if there is not a current court order providing Max and Rainie with parental responsibility for Abi that this may need to be obtained from the court in order to allow them the right to make important decisions in Abi’s life.”

It is a possibility that Max would say he would let Rainie take care of Abi but should Stuart trust him? And is Stuart willing to betray Rainie with Max to get his own way?
