Hi all..my ex husband wants to take me to court because I won’t agree to him changing the hours he sees our child.
When we split up 7 years ago he wanted to see her every sat and sun, then he changed it to every sat and sun and a random night in the week..(which he sometimes didn’t turn up to) it wasn’t a set night because he could never give me one. Then he wanted to change it to every Friday every other sat and every other Sunday night and a night in the week..now he wants to change it again to every other week he sees her and he’ll see her more in the week.
I’ve said no to this arrangement because she suffers from anxiety and likes routine.
If I’m honest she doesn’t really like staying over. I’ve said that he can do the every other weekend but no nights in the week because now she’s back at school it’s too disruptive.
She cries when it’s bedtime and he says he wants his life back.
My argument is he needs to fix whatever’s wrong with their relationship. As hell only be swapping every other fri and sat for 2 other nights in the week.
He wants to do mediation but I can’t afford it. And now he’s applying for a court order.
Can someone tell me what the next steps are please? Do I just have to roll over?
My LO is 9 and doesn’t want it to change..and if she had her way she’d only see him in the day.
I’m
At my wits end with it.
Please help. He’s abusive and vile to me and has also started swearing at our little girl.
I feel I get nowhere when I try and reason with him
