Taking Access From Dads

Hi, I’ve a question to ask regarding a situation that’s recently happened.

My brother has his son for a full weekend every two weeks. A few weeks ago, on one of his full weekends, my bother went out for a drink on the second night of looking after his boy, but my mum and I were home to look after him.

My brother’s ex partner wasn’t pleased when she found out, but they spoke and resolved the issue and she still allowed for my brother to see him as normal. But now, it’s supposed to be my brother’s full weekend again but she’s taken that access away from him and the reason was down to him going out. I don’t find it fair as when it’s her weekend, she often goes out herself.

We’re thinking of taking it to court now as it’s not the first time she’s taken access from him, and for no good reason. If we took this to court, would they be in favour of my brother, or his ex partner?

Neither. They favour the wellbeing of the child.

In your brother's access time it's naff all to do with his ex who looks after him.
Go to court or this will be the way of things til the dc is 18.
