[Solved] Holidays and going abroad

If you want some support in court, look at using a McKenzie's friend - they can't speak, but they can help with preparation and general confidence in court. Will be much cheaper than a solicitor or barrister.

I agree with the point that there should be a checklist done when the Court Order is being written up. I amazed when reading this forum how many gaps there are in these Orders which simply provides fertile ground for continual friction.
I have been abroard with my son. We travelled during a period of time he was scheduled (by Child Arrangements Court Order) to be with me. The Order stated his mother had to hand his passport over to me at least a week before needed for travel. My understanding of travelling abroard with a child is that more and more countries are expecting to see signed documentation of the agreement of all parties with Parental Responsibility to this happening, so it is wise for both parents to seek the consent of the other.
If there's a Court Order detailing that the child sees the 'NR' (crass title) parent every week (for example), then the 'Resident' parent can't go away for 28 days in any case as this would be breaching the Order.

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks Jnny! The shared residence you are applying for, is that still the C100 form, just with the arrangements modified to say its a ''shared residence'' agreement? Or is there a separate ''shared residence'' application?

Its terrible you had to go through all that, and to spend so much money as well!!! That could be the child's saving for a fist car, or a trip to Disney land. All just because one person is selfish, its so frustrating! I managed to get a routine around school as well. Its funny how its always the controlling parent that wants the routines around them and not the school ey! Then the other parent just wants to have a routine with their child and avoid the ex as much as possible. That should be good indication in itself to tell a court someone is being controlling.....

Hi. My partner is currently in a similar situation to yours and so I wondered how this was resolved? Did you go to court? What (if anything) changed? Tia

This is a fairly old post, so it's probably better to ask the question again in a new post and get some opinions.

Hi we did go back to court. My son won again, he got one week abroad Easter and one week in summer holiday, both noted on court order. However in the court the ex said can you confirm one week is 6 overnights, the judge said no it's not it 7 overnight. But sadly because they noted 7 nights against these 2 x 1 weeks as 7 nights only, the ex is saying all other weeks are only 6 nights. How can the length of a week change. Still arguing. If you have any questions please ask.
