I have a child arrangement order in place so that i am able to see my children. I have nothing on the order which limits my PR or no Special Arrangements order.
I had my children over the weekend last week and was about to take them back to there mums and i was told that my ex was in the hospital. I was told there would be someone at the house to look after the children and that she was being kept in. I said to my ex ok i will keep the kids overnight and run them to school, I got threats of the police and text messages ordering my to take them back.
The Monday i ran 2 of my kids to school and one stayed of ill, I spoke with the school and told them what was going on and said that with my ex in hospital i should be the one who looks after them.
I was told by the school that due to it not being my day on the court order that i should not pick them up or not come to school at home time.
My new partner stood on school grounds at home time in the location i would stand when meeting them and they did not come out. 30 Min later i spoke with my son on his mobile and he was back at his mums and he told me he was picked up by his uncle out of the school reception.
My ex spent another night in hospital and my 2 children spend the night being looked after by some one else, I kept hold of my other son, When my ex came out of hospital i returned my other son to her.

Questions
1. Can a school enforce a court order
2. With no special limits in place can i be stopped from picking up the children from school
3. With school aware of what was going on should they have favord one parent over the other
Since the school have been made aware of the court order, to go against that would potentially put them in contempt of court, so they have to abide by the terms of the order - it's not a matter of favouring one parent.
lol so even when she's ill, still being a control freak. honestly i don't know what goes on in some of these women's heads. your the other parent, so you have every right to keep them overnight in event of emergencies.
