Currently I see my daughter wednesday evening but have to take her back to her mums, saturday 10.30am-monday 07.45am
My daughter is starting school soon and i want to keep the same arangement but her mum wants to change it so i see her wednesday as normal then one week have her saturday 10.30am-monday 07.45am and the next week friday 5pm-sunday 10.30am and threatening if i don't agree. I dont want to change as i need fridays for socialising to keep a healthy balance.
She had already agreed to keep it the same when our daughter starts school and now she has changed her mind, also she has just spent the whole 6 weeks holiday with her.
Is this still a good deal what she is proposing?? How often on average do dads gets to see their children after legal battles??
Many thanks,
Matt
Hi there
The baseline of contact is a weekly tea time and alternate weekends.
I can understand that it might interrupt your Friday socialising but having your daughter every weekend is great. Could you not organise a babysitter for the Friday night when she is with you? Once she's in bed you're free to go out anyway.
As far as holidays, you could try mediation to see if you can resolve this, it might be helpful to resolve the weekend situation too. Here's a link to the mediation service
