Hi
I often here parents talking of having children 3/4 nights on a rotational basis, please can you tell me how this works, I.e how do u get alternate w.ends
Cheers
I think the first point is to how practical it would be - if you can work this out, then it's a matter of sorting it out with your ex. These sorts of agreements seem to be more by negotiation rather than imposed by a court.
There's no way in the world she will go for it, Im just after more time with my kids, got my 2nd appearance with court next Wednesday after attending pips meeting two weeks ago. Just miss them soooo much
What contact arrangements have you asked for? My personal view is that you should decide what the minimum contact is that you would like, and use that as the fallback position, but go for more than that initially (but don't ask for something you think the court may consider unreasonable) - it's possible that you may get what you are asking for, but if you don't and fall back towards your minimum, you have shown the court you are prepared to compromise which means you will hopefully come away without being disappointed.
