First Hearing Scheduling Disagreements

Hey there,

We have our first hearing in 5 weeks. Our daughter (12) has decided they can no longer accept 50/50 with her mother, and wishes to live with me. They have been invited to the first hearing, so will be able to express their feelings and wishes. 

Her solicitor is attempting (four letters in the past few weeks) to force me to agree on the 50/50 schedule for the next 5 months. I'm sceptical to agree to this (despite caveating without prejudice) as they have used "schedule breaking" multiple times as part of their arguments. And am concerned they will use my agreement to 50/50 and contest our daughter's wishes of living with me.

We have an agreed summer schedule until 3 Sept, and the court date is 12 Sept. My expressed preference is to discuss only those 9 days of arrangements on the final week of August. Daughter also requested this as she feels her mother will ruin her summer holidays. 

I've already stated my preference 3 times. Is this harassment? Can they push for an urgent hearing based on non-compliance? 

Thanks

hi,

you can reply back to her solicitor and tell them your not interested, and to stop writing to you, as its stressing you out.
