Hi all can anyone help please
I have my daughter every other week and collect her from school but I work a treble shift system and every now and again I find myself working a late shift and cannot collect my daughter from school. This is when my parents normally help out but they are on holiday this time so I gave my ex 2 weeks notice but she says it's my responsibility to collect her. Is this true as I will need to take time of work and not get payed
Could you work half day and make up the hours later in the week? Or arrange for a family friend / childminder to look after your child until you return?
It's times like this that a nice girlfriend comes in handy 🙂
If there is a residence order for your daughter to live with your ex, and a contact order for you to see her, then the contact order states the times when your ex must make your daughter available for contact, it does not compel you to actually be there. That's the theory, but in practice, if your ex doesn't collect your daughter from school, she knows full well that you'd have to go. Aside the above suggestion, is there anyone who can step in - possibly that your ex doesn't approve of? Is she thinks that's what you are arranging, your ex might have second thoughts.
