After a long and messy few years in court, we recently had a final "shared care" order. It's still the usual pattern of contact of every other weekend and one night in the week but called "shared care".
My 10 yo dd has decided she wants swimming lessons. I agreed but then couldn't find any lessons that didn't clash with contact. When I asked exh about it, he said I had no right to agree that she could have lessons, she wasn't able to make that decision herself and all decisions are to go through him.
I have since had three days of abusive texts slagging me off for letting the children think they can do what they like and daring to think I can make decisions about "his" children without asking him first.
Anyone know the legalities of shared care and how this works practically in terms of allowing the DC to do after school activities. DD is now majorly pissed off that she isn't allowed lessons. She hates contact with a passion and just getting her to any contact session is a massive battle. This has just increased the problem.
