Hi, I've recently spilt with my wife, going thru the first stages at the moment, but divorce has been started.I was seeing my children every Saturday , during the week, I even stayed in the matrimonial home while my ex went away with her then new boyfriend for the weekend. Since then things have gone very bad and I haven't seen my children for 5 weeks.
I have lost my job and I live in a bedsit, and my ex has turned round and said as I can't provide over night contact because of where I live, she want me go to the matrimonial home for the weekend, every other weekend. Can she enforce this. I'm on JSA so get £71 a week. I'd love to have them every saturday like I did when working but simply can't afford it now, what,s the law on this, should I stick to my guns of every other saturday..help I'm confused....
Hi Snipes
Sorry, can you clarify - it seems to me that the question is where contact takes place, either at your bedsit or your ex's matrimonial home, but either way it will be alternate weekends? Are you able to make the bedsit suitable for your children to sleep over? It depends to some extent on how many children and their ages. As a matter of interest, what exactly are the arrangements that your ex is suggesting when staying at the matrimonial home?
