Hi I'm new to this and really need some advice. For last 2 years I've been having my daughter Friday, Saturday Sunday, (stays every other Sunday so can take her to school) ex has her in the week and has chosen this arrangement as I wanted more equal care so weekdays and weekends are split fairly. I've changed my hours to make it possible, the thing that has delayed me applying for equal care is that I'm waiting for matrimonial home to be sold which I had to go through court to do. She agrees on equal care then changes her mind. It's now at the situation where she has proposed alternative every weekend and she has her Monday to Friday leaving me with just every other weekend which reduces my time significantly... I have not agreed to this but wondered if this went to court would this be realistic to reduce my time like this. She doesn't want me to have her in the week as she gives that time to her family members.
hi,
if you live close by and there's no safeguarding concerns, I think it will be difficult for court to reduce your time with kids, no valid justifications. if she is doing it for financial reasons, then courts will take very dim view of her and won't like that. going to be very costly process if you use solicitors/barristers. with right guidance you can self represent. feel free to contact me if you need advice. sending you private message.
