Taking Frustration out on Children

[Childrenfirst01]

Hi

Has anyone ever had experience of emotional abuse and how the family courts handled it?

Example:- Children have regular activity but over the last year or so ex partner has decided to stop children attending their regular activity making up various excuses as to why I.e. to far to travel, didn't get their way with school choice, disagrees with me. Children are really upset about this as they really enjoy their extra curricular activity but now can't do it when staying with the ex. But this punishment of the children is only to get at me as the ex historically was a massive supporter of the children's activities.

We have 50/50 care.

Thanks

Sounds a bit crappy but not sure it stacks up as emotional abuse?

So even when it is being done purely to get back at me? And that's been admitted to?

Good to get your thoughts though so thank you.

I don't have any experience but could this sort of thing be written in to a court order ?
Not that it's any help , but when they're older they'll know what a dick their father is.

Pick your battles.

Family courts don’t like petty squabbles like this. If you have 50/50 care, focus on what is within your control. The conflict is far worse for the children than missing an extracurricular. When they’re old enough, they’ll vote with their feet.

Well, you didn't say that before. Even then, it's a bit "he said, she said" at the moment and the children aren't at risk.

This is good advice.
