Hi All
I am sure that this has already been covered, however not been able to find the info I am after.
To cut a long story short, I live on the complete opposite side of London (Surrey) to my Daughter (Hertfordshire), her mother does not "stop" me from seeing her however is making life more and more difficult to see her.
My daughter now has Ballet on the weekends which means I can only collect her after midday on a Saturday and refuses point blank to meet me halfway for "handover". Not to mention the mounting costs of travel in the capital and as my daughter is over 5, I now have to pay for her travel as well and feel that some of this should be covered in the extortionate child maintenance I am already paying.
So my questions are as follows
1. Can I have her ballet cancelled on my weekends to enable me to spend more time with my daughter?
2. Can I have visitation travel payment enforced?
3. Can I have 50/50 travel time / midway meeting enforced?
I really appreciate your help and advice.
I would also like information on this I agreed to pay my wife 800 pounds per month and have for the last 3 years, I have the kids every month and for school holidays I live in Spain travel back all the time and bring them out to Spain or take them to my family in Kent she moved to Liverpool to be close to her family.
On average I am spending at least 25% on the time with the kids through the whole year but still pay my ex wife 800 £ per month. I am really feeling the pinch and with the kids getting older she is saying that it is not feasible to think I can swan any where I want with the kids as they have activities.
