Hello everyone,
I would really like some advice before going down the legal route with my ex.
We do not have an order in place for me to see my son - myself and my ex have had a verbal agreement for the past 6 months. I see him for approximately 8 hours per week spread over 2 days.
Recently, my ex has been changing the agreement at short notice, stating that my son and her have prior plans or just cancelling for no reason. I ask to make up the time or see him another day but these messages are just ignored or am I told to get over it.
I feel she is doing this simply to punish me and to show me who is in control. I am aware that I probably need to begin legal action but I wanted to know if/what rights I have as his father right now.
I can imagine a lot of you have been through a similar situation to me - I would really like some advice please. Also, if legal action has been taken, how much has it cost you to get a legal agreement in place so you have regular access to your children? Cost should not be an option of course, but unfortunately I do not earn masses amount of money and will probably be looking at loans/family to help.
Thank-you for reading this.

And I know that’s not the law
But I would not judge the ex for one second if that was indeed the case

So you stay in his home or take him to yours during your time with him?
Are you aware that she’s perhaps begun a new relationship?
Did this change literally come out of the blue or was their an argument
