Travel for contact

[HollyIvy89]

Just looking for what is expected pls

He lives about 50min to 1 hour away

What will I be expected to do with regard to driving the kid to him/pick up? Will I be expected to contribute to this?

What’s normal?

Thanks

Bump

Alas there is no normal to help with this.
Some families expect one to do all the travel; others say the collector does the trip; others meet half-way.
Partly will depend on the age of kids.

So, no rules. Could be the kind of thing to discuss in a mediation?

Did he decided to move away?

Mine has moved aeroplane flights away .

I don't do anything to help him. I don't take the kids anywhere. He moved, his decision, his bed.

In general, the person who moved away does the travelling.

Though there may be circumstances which mean that's not the case, such as one person who can drive and the other stuck with a bopping journey on three forms of public transport that no-one in their right mind wouid inflict on a child. So yes, needs to be sorted out during mediation

It depends on contact arrangements and transport options.

For example regardless of who moved away if he is picking them up after school and returning them to school the next morning then he does all the travelling.

@Whyareyouallcallingmemum It is actually your kids beds as well.

He moved away. Will wait an see if it’s suggested now.
