Arrangements

[SiempreDot]

Following a protracted mediation process and solicitors letters, my ex partner had decided to take me to court for a dispute over one night.

I have moved my position to his in terms of every other weekend, but he wants one mid week overnight. This, he's said, is because it would mean he would take DS out of nursery provision the following day and give him to his parents to have.

He's had mid week contact and it's worked well as a tea time arrangement where he's dropped off back at mine shortly before bed time. The problem if he stays overnight is that he would have to drop him off at his Childminder's at 8am before she does the school run. Ex lives 15 miles away from DS and I, and given DS wakes at 7, in rush hour traffic this would be difficult. I'm inclined to think that tea time is more appropriate til he starts school which is a bit later. I also don't want him taken out of nursery to facilitate his parents, given he will have Saturday and Sunday to ensure his parents have contact.

Is this a point worth fighting for? Do you think the courts might be sympathetic? Can I ask the courts to include in a CAO that he remains at the Nursery even if they do rule overnights are ok midweek? I'm
