I am a divorced daddy now for 10 years and unfortunately only able to take my kids every second weekend and second December holiday as our company only closes during December. Now my ex wife wont allow me to take the kids on my weekends if it's during a school holiday. Can she do that? What are my rights?
Hi
Do you have a contact order or is this just an informal arrangement? If it's informal, then your ex can control access to some extent, however, she is expected to act reasonably in facilitating contact. If this arrangement has been in place for so long, then if it went to court, I would imagine that they would expect (ie order) that the contact be resumed as it had been. However, before you consider this option, you would sensibly need to look at mediation to see if you can get back the contact your are missing. try www.nfm.org.uk and there is a sticky topic at the top of the legal eagle section on finding mediation in your area.
Hi There,
If you have no formal Court arrangement in place then mediation if the way forward Form FM1. If there is, then get straight bach to Court for the Enforcement Order Form C79. I you tell your Mediation/Judge the with your ex messing the child/ren around with their timing of visits that this will really impact on the continuity of contact and so hamper your bonding with the child.
Hope this helps,
Brian
