Aibu- child arrangement order

6 replies

standingupfornonsense · 13/10/2020 08:14

Hi, not really a aibu but I could do with some advice please. I have had a child arrangement order in place for 5 years. School holidays are split 50:50. Remainder of time is 8/6 in my favour. Up until recently EXH has had boys on Monday and Fridays so when there is a bank holiday or a teacher training day on these he has them until 3pm and then drops them back to me on Mondays and alternate Fridays (depending who's weekend it is). He's now suggesting that a day runs from 3pm one day to 3pm the next day. So the up coming teacher training day would run from 3pm on the Friday until 3pm on the Saturday when they would be returned to me.....

The court order doesn't not explicitly mention these two days. It states school holidays to be split 50/50.

I am not wanting to return to court over this but he is making it difficult for me and the back and forth is driving me mad.

How would you deal with this?

What is 8/6?

8 nights / 6 nights - we have a two week cycle

Is it a one off change?

I would just say no we'll stick to what we have always done. Assuming your previous arrangement is long standing there is no reason to change.

You say 'until recently' what changed and at who's instigation?

You say he is being difficult is this a one off or his usual character? I assume he has plans that morning and doesn't want to be responsible for the childcare!

What is his reasoning?

standingupfornonsense · 13/10/2020 09:59

He's instigated it. No idea why. He would be basically taking my Friday night abs Saturday of that weekend!
