Help please - I am trying to find out what my options are regarding getting a legally binding agreement between myself and my daughters dad surrounding contact and maintenance?
After 7 years of what feels like constant fighting I am done and just want an arrangement that neither of us can dispute.
My dd currently sees her dad for 6hours every other weekend no overnights - please let me make it clear that is all he wants. He pays a little over £200 pounds per month - I've never questioned the amount as it leads to name calling and fighting and tbh it's just not worth the grief.
That is it in terms of responsibilities - he does nothing else.
My issue lies with trying to change/ cancel weekend because they don't suit and today not receiving maintenance because it's a Sunday when our private agreement states the 5th of month. I know it sounds super petty but I just hate the constant fighting and it's wearing me down.
What I envisage is a simple agreement detailing each others responsibilities and confirmed dates etc. So everyone knows where we stand. We cannot communicate without fighting and I am sure we are both over it!
My daughter and her dad have a lovely relationship and I do what I can to ensure they maintain contact. I have set up an email address for her, she has a mobile and can text call email whenever and vice versa. I think I have been as flexible and amenable as possible.
I don't know why I am saying all the above- I just want the fighting to stop.
So.... what are my options?
