Hi.
Final hearing approaching and things are bit up in the air but getting there slowly but surely and contact (hate this word) is progressing. I'm looking at going for every other weekend, one weeknight and holidays etc.
My ex has said she wants residency order? I have no problem with my son living at her house but there has to be a reason behind this as this woman will do anything to stop me seeing him.
Does a residency order give her more control and any more rights? I've read that if a child contact arrangments in place it has little effect and is this true ?
Thanks again.
Hi There,
.
A residency order will give her, rights to claim benifits like child benifit and working tax credits, she would also be able to take your child out of the country without your permision but you would still need to seak hers and have it before you could.
.
With the travel, if she refused you would have to apply to court to have her over ruled, where as, as said she could travel abroad with your child without having to even ask you let alone have your agreement.

Thanks for your reply.
I have no problem her claiming any benefits etc. I pay her 100pw maintenance so as long as don't entire her to ask for more off me I don't mind. In regards to her taking him abroad She does not fly so that's not really a concern.
I'm a big traveller and have big plans for my boy ie Disney , lapland, Skiing and she will likely object but I suppose I need to address this at the next hearing.
Thanks.
