Hi
New to the page but joined hoping I can get some help with issue's brought up by my ex partner. The first one that I hope someone can give me some information on is my ex has told me I am not entitled to any overnight stays with my son who is 5 as I'm currently staying at my mum's house until I have enough money to get a place of my own and I sleep on the couch as the 2 rooms in the house are taken up. I have had him overnight on couple of occasions before and was no problem but all of a sudden my ex has told me she will not allow me to have our son overnight and has told me she has spoke to someone who has told her the court would say the same.
Has anyone been through this similar situation or does anyone know if there is any truth behind this?
It really depends on the court, but if you can show that you can provide a room for your son at your mothers when he's there, then that will help, but it is going to be an uphill battle to get thee overnight contact.
Hi There,
.
I agree if you can show that there is somewhere for your son to stay when he's with you then hopefully the judge will allow over nights again, the fact that your ex has allowed over nights before should hopefully go in your favour.
