Ex just cancelled his one weekend a month with our kids. Apparently out of concern I might be upset about them being at his for a long time. They were there for 1 and half days. We're supposed to share custody 50/50 in the week and he has 1 weekend a month. I think I need a solicitor?
That depends, I was the opposite, whilst I encouraged my kids to see their mother, and she was always trying to make them stay with her, it always caused problems. So I was quite happy for them not to spend time with her. My son never stayed overnight at his mothers since he turned 12 and often goes a year without seeing her, she lives a mile away. I agree kids should know both parents, and I have been to court many times with the parents of my foster son but sometimes these things are just not worth the effort.
@Josephine so damn hard, sorry I can't make a positive suggestion. Keep being honest with your kids, make sure they know you want them to have dad time as well. I know, it is tough times, I was lucky, my boss let me drastically reduce my working hours, income went way down, but at least I still had a job. Sadly also food, school and mortgage costs, the ex never contributed a single cent.
