I've offered ex half holidays (shared collection/drop off) and one weekend a month contact (me to collect and drop)
Distance is 200miles there and back.
He won't agree to it and wants mediation week after next. My daughters birthday is due soon and of course xmas.
Also he keeps saying he can't afford maintenance. I told him not to worry and we set it up once hes back to work.
Yet he said he wants to pay 40 a month even states he'll get his wife and mum to pay for it if its set in stone. Strange as when he was working I'd get 107 a month. And whats even more odder is even though i said not to worry about the payments right now. He said I'm bullying him.
Can i just send the dates to his solicitor and state thats what they will be til shes old enough to decide herself.
As he said we can do it the easy way or the hard way. Which i think he means court.
But I've not done anything apart from offer contact, tell him not to worry about maintenance right now... But refuse mediation. Don't see how that counts as bullying him.
