Hi I need advice.
I gave 2 weeks advance notice to my ex that I am going on holiday and I will not be able to take girls in my weekend.
I proposed different time but she refused. Also she said that, she have plans and she is not accepting my holiday.
Honestly everything would be ok apart fact that she is unpredictable.
I expect kids a front of my workplace or house in Friday.
Any advices ? Just in case.
What can I do in this kind of the situation please when she will leave kids a front of my house or workplace one day before my holiday.
What options I have.
I feel sorry for myself and kids that I need to consider this kind of the options and ask for advice.
To be absolutely fair, 2 weeks notice isn't really enough notice, but I also understand that sometimes these things happen and parents should be flexible.
However, she can't just dump the children outside, that's neglect and asshe is the primary parent it's her responsibility to ensure their safety.
You could try calling Social Services and ask them to speak to her, or even the police... but whether they would get involved is debatable.
The only other way would be to apply to the court for an urgent Specific Issue Order to get the court to intervene.
Best of luck
