[Solved] What should I do C66 form application

hi,

I prefer to have special occasions shared as half days. so maybe you can offer to let your ex have the kids on xmas eve, then return them after lunch xmas day.

am trying to understand why you have mentioned a form C66? it's to do with applying to high court in relation to children matters. e.g. if social services or someone wanted a child to have a guardian/wardship so they can be protected by court or not removed from the country etc. then they would use form C66.

If your children are currently with ex you would need to come to some amicable arrangement with her perhaps where you both see children xmas day . Family courts would not be able to help you at such short notice

Thanks for response. My ex filled c66 form and put me as respondend.

Kids at the moment are with me, I have offered her that she can have kids Christmas Eve from 10 am until Christmas day 10am.she is living with parent anyway so she have them more than I do.
I have picked up kids on Friday nigh for weekend and for what I was thinking my half of Christmas holidays and was about to return kids to her 27.12 so. She have them for week. But she started making issue out of it and today filled c66 form and submitted it to court.
What does that mean to me? I have intention of returning kids on Sunday 27th.
In court order arrangements she Is as living with parent, kids are with me for half of all holidays, twice a week in the afternoon, Christmas eve to alternate between parents, this year with me and Christmas holidays to share 50/50.

Family courts wont be doing anything . its xmas this friday and they will be shutting soon.
How far distance wise are you away from each other? Is there an actual court order in place?

There is court order in place. It only says that durin Christmas holiday we shall spend time 50/50 and Christmas eve shall be with me this year.
We live 10 minutes walk from each other. She wanna show me that she got the power, she told kids that she is the one that make decisions.
Why would she fill up c66 form? As kids are not in danger, no one is planning to remove them from the UK?

If you have had the children since Friday 18/12/2020 you would also get xmas eve children should be returned to ex xmas day.

What is your ex actually asking you for around xmas time etc

seems pretty bizarre for her to make that application. usually when there is a court order already in place, you would either apply again with a c100 to vary the order, or use form C79 for enforcement, if court order is not being followed. unless she used the wrong form. as warwickshire mentioned, xmas is around the corner. new court hearing will probably be 2-3 months away.

did you get a court date with that C66 paperwork?

I have picked kids up on 18.12 at 7.30 pm as it was my weekend term time.
From Monday we have 2 weeks to divide in half with Christmas in it. She wanted have them 1rst week with me having them Christmas eve as in court order and me having 2nd week.
I wanted them have from Friday for week and a bit as it let me have them longer in one go.

I just got the form send to me by her and to court by email. Why would someone tell her to fill c66 than? And how can I throw this out of court as it is pointless? She thinks they would give her order before Christmas as that's an issue now.

holidays start on a friday . You are meant to have them 7 nights and hand them back at a time to be agreed xmas day . Your ex would then have them for 7 nights . you would then get the friday and saturday night 1/1/21 and 2/1/21 as your weekend again.
Children are with you 9 nights and ex 8 nights .

I can see why shes not happy and i am a dad. I got 8 nights as my weekend falls on xmas day but not getting them til late afternoon

I was thinking that about the weekend as well but than when I wanted kids Friday night for summer holidays I was told in court I can have them Sunday night as school week is finishing Sunday midnight and I was wrong(she wanted give me kids Monday 10am and to be dropped off Sunday night) . So from that time I'm treating those weekends as part of school week so does my ex.
So for week of Christmas holidays I supposee to pick them up even 8pm Sunday the 20.12 or Sunday 27.12,she is saying 27.12 and I'm saying 20.12, why would I split it. In 2 parts if 9 day together is better as I can plan better. (I could if there was no Covid) and so far every half of my holidays (except summer as it is specified what weeks I have) was always attached to my weekends as I make it longer in one go and is easier to plan,more thinks to do etc.
And I had plans for this week with kids not the next one as thi week falls after my weekend. Does that make sense?
