I'm at the end of my tether with my ex. For the last year he has pretty much refused to have our daughter. We used to alternate weekends but since the pandemic started his new partner has refused to allow our daughter to visit, except on a couple of occasions. They had a new baby in August so I understand they were nervous. But throughout the pregnancy they set false deadlines for resuming contact and have continued to do that since. We finally had a breakthrough when they agreed to resume having her every other weekend. My daughter came back on Sunday night so delighted to have spent time with her baby bro. It was lovely to see. As far as she is aware, she will be going back every other weekend. I've heard tonight that they are nervous again as she is back at school and won't allow her to come unless she takes a lateral flow test with a negative result immediately before each visit. I am just stunned that they have backtracked yet again. It has happened so many times and I've made clear that she is not to be messed around. I am not sure how I feel about enforced testing. She is primary age so not being routinely tested and that is for a reason. I'm not sure I want her to go through that every time. Also I don't think she can even get tested on the NHS due to her age. Her dad has not paid any maintenance for a year, which I've been understanding about. But if he can suddenly find the equivalent money for unnecessary tests I don't think I will be happy! At the end of the day, I just don't want to see my daughter's hopes raised then dashed. It is me who picks up the pieces every time but ultimately it is just not fair on her. Any advice welcome!
