My soon to be ex husband has been pretty petty and spiteful during our whole divorce/separation so far. He recently told me he and his mother booked a holiday to take our 2 year old to Majorca for 12 nights, didn’t run it by me, just booked and paid for it last November. I explained personally it’s too long for me and my daughter to be away from each other, especially as she’s stuck to me like glue most of the time. He’s refused to change it, is it bad if I go over after a week to see her? not stop at the same hotel but maybe very close by. They will probably hate the idea and protest, but I find it disrespectful what he’s done, and I’m struggling massively with the thought of my 2 year old in a different country for that long.

Hide her passport and don't give permission.

Hide her passport and don't give permission.

He will do the same to me when I want to take her though, my solicitor also said he’s her legal guardian so I can’t stop him

12 days is a long time, so I can understand your concerns. I guess you need to consider if you will want to take a 2wk holiday in future, and would you want your ex husband showing up. I guess this holiday is booked, so you need to consider best way of handling it, but maybe in future whilst she is small agree to both of you taking 7 day holidays. I personally would find 12 days way too long too. Has he had her for long periods before? I guess as least 2 adults will be going which would reassure me on safety. Maybe they will agree to daily video calls. I don’t think going out there is a good idea really.
