Would welcome some supporting arguments on this one if any of you can help please. Difficult ex-H is now unable to pick up DS for weekend contact on a Friday night because of a change to work. (There is a court order that stipulates a 5pm pick up and has been in place for several years after endless unreasonable litigation from him) He now wants DS to catch bus (half hour trip plus crossing major rd and then a walk down a long pathway in a school) and go to a sports club before he arrives home from work which is quite a way down the motorway. I don't feel at all comfortable with this: I think he's too young; I think in the winter dark this feels even worse; I won't even know if he's arrived there since I'm not doing mobiles till secondary school and even if something went wrong I'm not nearby to sort it; ex-H may very likely get stuck on the motorway and not be there to collect him. Am happy to have a later pick up time from home before 7, stop the Friday night contact and/or drop him myself on a Saturday morning; but I don't have the flexibility to be able to drop him down there on a friday night myself. What do you all think? I know I'll get it in the neck and this will be viewed as me trying to be difficult when I have the conversation about this so would appreciate having some other input on this. Thanks all!
