Hi
My son currently stays at my house for a week every other week, I was never in a relationship my sons mother. I im married but I'm going to get divorced and want to move out of our house.
I can afford anywhere until the house has sold and can just afford a bed sit, but I'm not allowed to have my son stay over.
I have told my sons mother this, but she said I will need someone to look after my son as she has changed her shift pattern ( for last 2 years i have had my son a week about, before that it was 2 times a week due to workingshifts), I don't have family to help.
Where do I stand with asking her to have my son more often until I find a new house to live?
hi, is it possible to arrange child care, or would be it be manageable once school begins after half term?
@bill337 Hi, thanks for the reply, the issue is not being able to stay over with me in the bedsit.
@robwitkiss if you tell her the kids can't stay over with you until you find a bigger place, should be good enough. if you both disagree on arrangements then can try mediation.
