Hi looking for some help I'm getting married in Apr this year I want my 8 year old son there but my future wife doesn't as my ex wife has caused nothing but stress and agro even taking me to court and telling complete lies and my partner is worried that uf my son comes to the wedding my ex will do something to upset her day and my son also has a habit of going back to his mun and stirring it as well Any help or info would be great as I dont want to upset my son or my partner
Thanks
Hi there
That really is a dilemma, it's totally understandable that you would want your son to be there, but I can also see your future wife's side of things. Is there any way you can reach a compromise? How would you feel if your son came to the reception afterwards perhaps.
I don't think you're going to be able to keep everyone happy unfortunately, perhaps a meeting with the mother to discuss how to manage the day, that's probably a long shot, but worth considering.
Your son is still a bit young to appreciate the importance of the day, but you could try talking to him about it too.
Best of luck
Do you have a Child Arrangement Order in place for your son?
There was an order that I only see him at contact centrebut that stopped about a year ago and i see him every 2 weeks but he doesnt come to myhouse as idont want ex wife knowing where I live
