hi,
it depends on couple of things, like your kids age. how far you live from the ex. can you do any school runs. can you communicate with ex for kids arrangements. if you ask for 50/50 then you will be expected to do shared care like school runs. all you can do is ask and show the court that it can practically work. if your ex does not agree to anything, then court hearings go to round 2,3 etc and judge can make a decision. i asked court to change my order to state that kids live with both parents. am not holding my breath and have a feeling they will not bother change it.
if you want residency as in you want kids to live with you full-time, you can try ask. but usually a residency change happens for serious reasons. like parent is a druggy and screwed up in the head. or parent is brainwashing child/serious neglect.
if child is say age 10 and above, then courts will take his views into account.
how old is your son as you never actually said. best way for him to go club is if your son just has overnight stay and you drop off to school in morning
Best solution I think in your circumstances is your son does football after school but he stays overnight and goes to school in morning.
To be fair your child should be able to have some kind of right to express a view. Football after school is taken very serious by some kids and is something a lot would enjoy doing. is the football practice straight after school as you could even extend hours to 8pm if you cant do overnights.
Hes 12.
The training starts at 5.15 til nearly 8pm
I think it will wait til it goes court and apply for residency, when I have custody lets see how likes being dictated too
5-15 until 8 pm is not workable is it as means you wouldn't see your son. cause hes 12 he will get some sort of say if goes to court. Don't think I would be happy either, it only leaves you to change your midweek day or ask why he cant play football weekends and train with club. are you able to change your midweek day at all if it comes to it?
