Hi All,
New here, so I have a court order in place where I have my children every other weekend.
My partner is pregnant and is due this year.
My question is what if my partner goes in labour or has baby around the time that I am suppose to have my children.
My ex Partner has not been the easiest to co parent with to the point she stopped me seeing the kids to this is why there is a court order in place. I know deep down when the time comes and she will be like if she giving birth your still having the kids on your weekend and if you break the court order then you wont have them again.
She has given my current my partner so much grief over the years, to where she like your not their mother don't interact with my kids. Where my partner is just making sure they are happy when they are with us.
She has refused two times when I collect the children to hand them over to myself which I have kept records of and even put an incident number with police for myself to have proof of this.
Do I need to notify someone that when my partner goes into labour that it could affect me having my children as I am the only birth partner for my partner and plus I want to be there for the arrival of my baby. I have looked on google but I cant find any information on this.
hi,
if your not able to collect the kids due to your partner going into labour, you can communicate that to your ex and tell her your not available. you wouldn't be breaking the court order.
if your ex thinks your breaking the order in this situation, then she should seek legal advice about it. Try to keep things amicable. if she stops further contact due to this, then she would look very unreasonable if this ends up in court next time.
You could try using AppClose for communicating with your ex. Messages can't be deleted so there is a permanent record of who said what
