Been divorced for 3 yrs now, have two lovely girls aged 6&7, they live with their mother and i have them for two nights each week. I pay
maintenance every month plus buy uniforms as and when. My ex has told my daughters they cant spend time alone with my girlfriend, as you can imagine this is very distressing for her. My girlfriend has her own place and does not live with me. Do i just ignore this or tackle the problem? My ex is also demanding Christmas day they should wake up at hers not mine( one of my daughters was born in my house) this will be the third year she has had this. She is also trying to dictate when i take them on holiday and for how long. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi and welcome
The first step to consider is mediation to see if you can come to a negotiated arrangement. If not, then you are looking at a contact order, in which case have a read of yoji's guide to representing yourself at the top of the legal eagle section.
