Update - kids in car

[Runlovingmummy81]

Hey, a few of you were asking for an update on the boys so here it is...

Around midnight last night (after landing in UK) I managed to get hold of ex husband sister who confirmed the boys had slept in the car Thurs night but were booked into a guest house last night.

I spoke to them this morning and they were OK. I'm not sure where they are tonight as he's told me they are back Sunday but my eldest said today so. Not sure. He also said that his dad had told him to tell me they'd slept in the car both nights to trick me.

Ill speak to them tomorrow at some point and when I can I'll speak to both boys about being honest in those situations.

Apologies for my tongue-in-cheek comment about cocktails too was being sarcastic of course my children are my priority.

Are your kids back with you today OP? I hope they are ok. I would be taking some advice for the future as I would not be happy about this situation happening again. Best of luck to you.

Get them back after school tomorrow. I'll be seeking advice definitely. Thanks. X

Yes, advice for sure. Best bet take your court order to a solicitor along with a diary/list of his behaviour.

I think the problem is that as long as the DC are 'out of the weather' and have had something to eat (regardless of quality) there's probably not much you can do.

I seem to remember a situation (either here on MN or elsewhere) that had a similar 'sleeping in car' situation. Basically the complaining parent was advised that sleeping in a car was 'no different' than camping in a tent and was not grounds for suspending access. So just be prepared.

Will this be a reason for you to be able to stop contact and go back to court?
