evening all,
this is my first post, so forgive the lack of acronyms.
Can anyone tell me if i'm being unreasonable here.
I split with my wife about 2 years ago and since that time she has moved house twice, each time i have moved to be closer to my children and each time she has moved further away from my new location. between 70 and 150 miles. each time she insists that i pick the children up and drop them off to her door having me drive in excess of 600 miles each weekend (alternate). i have pushed for medication which she has refused on multiple occasions. Each move she has not told me until after the decision has been made, including not involving me in selecting schools. I have asked for a reasonable 50/50 split on travel which she refuses simply saying if i do not pick them up then i don't see them, essentially dangling the childrens assess like a carrot, at least 5 times. She has withheld christmas last year (it was my turn to have the children and she simply denied me). This is causing some issues in my new marriage as each contact weekend there is a further bombshell dropped, sending kids with no clothes, adequate footwear and similar. I have a near as possible a ful wardrode here for them both as she will not send them in any other clothes other than what they are wearing when they arrive. I pay full maintenance every month without fail.
Any pointers here, am i being unreasonable?
many thanks
