Child contact and snow

[Mooey89]

It’s snowing reasonably heavily here, advise is to avoid all but non essential travel, there was a 20 car pile up on one of the A roads earlier today.

Schools are shut, people not getting to work, etc.

DS is due to go to his dads tomorrow for the weekend.
It’s court ordered. ExH lives 30 mins drive away on the motorway.

I said I think we should review tomorrow as more snow is forecast and it might be more sensible to wait until Saturday morning.

Apparently I’m unreasonable and if I block contact I will be in contempt of court.
I do understand that this is true but I just think it’s madness to risk it - DS is 4.
Also, ex is very irresponsible and 0 chance he will have winter tires or any provisions for the snow - unlikely to have even checked tire pressure recently, once had a tire explode on the motorway because the pressure was so low so not even like I can rely on him to be sensible about things

AIBU?

It’s still bad here and forecast to snow all day.
We’re in an amber area. I think I’m going to put my foot down and say no!

screen shot the amber area warning, the forecast for your area, and several of the areas on route. and any warnings not to travel. keep them for if he applies to court. take photos of the condition of the road with date stamp if possible. IF you can look up any motorway cameras and view them that would be useful too.

screen shot any travel issues as well.

I would make a copy of the weather report and if he does take you back to court then use that as evidence. I would hope that no sane judge would think that was unreasonable.

mine are at their Dad's at the moment and I am missing them like mad want to go sledging with them! However, even though they are not far away, I know that it isn't worth risking the roads for the sake of a day or so.

Complete and utter C88ts that's all I can say - why do we have to go to these lengths to protect ourselves and our kids - just shows what a complete farce the court system is when we have to question our own common sense - any reasonable parent would agree but we all know we are not dealing with reasonable - cannot even expect the courts to be reasonable - I despair!
