My controlling, financially abusive ExH and I split in October. Out of guilt at leaving, I agreed to let him see DD1 and DD2 three weekends out of four between 11am on the Sat and 6pm on the Sun. But he took my car away and, rather than have the girls sitting in the house all weekend, he takes them on the 4th Sunday too.
He gave me 500 less than normal this month, and 300 less last month. I am freelance so can't afford to turn down work. The regular shift I get is a Sat morning from 7. So he now has the girls from then on a Saturday and doesn't usually bring them back until at least 8 on the the Sunday.
It's just too much for me and the kids who are getting upset because they barely see me. Their Dad works away Tues-Fri so there's no chandce of them seeing him during the week.
I've suggested he has them Saturday and Monday and I have them Sundays and he's refused. I feel held to ransom over money.
What is reasonable?
