Hi,

because of your children's ages I think it will be unlikely for you to get 50/50 arrangement. Also depends on the outcome of the fact finding hearing. It seems that if there is lot of animosity and/or poor communication between parents, then the court do not like giving 50/50.

hi thanks for reply.

ive always have been in my childrens lives and done everything for them, until ex relocated with them without my permission.  if the allegations of abuse are proven to be false, is it still that my chances of 50/50 are nil.    what kind of chance will i get, just every other weekend?

i had the initial c100 granted in my favour and for kids to be returned to family home, the ex then made allegations and the c100 claim was dismissed, so we are near a fact finding trial.

How far do the kids live from you? if there's no safeguarding concerns from court point of view, then distance from kids usually decide what kind of arrangement you can get. other things like your work commitments. They got me doing school runs whenever I pick up drop kids. The standard arrangement court give is fri-sun every other weekend, 2 weeks in summer holidays. or half of school holidays if you request it.

i will have a final hearing after FF, maybe a section 7 will come by then.
