Hi everyone.
Looking for some advise and help basically i have got a court order to see my daughter every week on a midweek day (my day off varys weekly) and also every other sunday.
My problem this week is my midweek day off was Monday i text my ex last week telling her this and she said it was fine. However she then informed me on the saturday before that my daughter is in nursery and cant come with me.
She is saying nursery is block booked and when my day off is Mondays she cant be with me as she needs to go nirsery to develop social skills etc.
The court order states that my midweek contact is to be made around my shifts however she is saying its to be made round both her shifts aswell even tho this isnt stated.
my daughter is 18 month old
This isnt the 1st time this has happenee re nursery 1st time it happenee she said i need to give her a weeks notice re my day off so she can arrange nursery round it. Now she is saying its block booked.

can anyone advise me what to do? Shall i pursue enforcemnt??

I don't think it's enough to warrant applying for enforcement.

Does the mother work the same days each week? Is it the case that she books the same days at nursery every week or are they subject to change?

Perhaps you could compromise and ask if you could collect your daughter early from nursery when your day off falls on a Monday?

Yeah mother works monday to wed each week. The problem i have is when my day off is monday ill have this same problem every week.

my contact time as per the order is 8am until 6pm so if i pick her up from nursery i will be losing tine with my daughter. Mother agreed the order in court now she has pulled this stunt.

Sadly there is no compromise with this evil women.

the problem is like this

if the order states midweek varyied then she should of told the court about nursery, you could apply for an enforcement but what happens when your daughter starts school? also if she works the same days then she should of made someone aware that monday would be a problem if that was your day off

im in full agreeance that paid care should not trump parental care but court may just say "pick her up after nursery"

I think in a lot of cases, it's better to represent yourself. It's not as difficult as everyone thinks.

I guess she has to book childcare for when she's working but it wouldn't hurt to miss a nursery day every once in a while if it means extra time with Dad.

Hey mate,

Think of it perhaps from a different point of view. Your daughter will be at nursery having fun, learning and developing skills etc etc etc.

It's probably of little consolation now but I was in a similar position where I found it hard when my son was going to nursery when he could have been spending time with me.

But in hindsight seeing how happy he is at nursery with his teachers and playing with his friends softens the blow. Although I was might pi$$ed of at the time.
