Hello all
Just wondering how people have reacted to the other parent asking to change the residency order, and if you’ve successfully argued n
For no change.
Our daughter, 13.5, has had the same system for 5.5 years, mostly with me, at her dad’s every Thursday night and all weekend every two weeks. So far, so good.
Long story short he’s asking the court to change it. No notice, just bang! A huge dossier from his solicitor abd now he blanks me.
My daughter does not want it. I would absolutely agree to do it if it’s what she wants because I want her to be happy. His girlfriend just had a baby and he’s arguing the half-sisters should not be separated. Sorry but why recognize the first child only on the birth of a second one? Why should our daughter’s routine have to change? He’s arguing his girlfriend is like a ‘mother figure’ and has provided photos of them all ‘having fun’.
Trying to stay calm but it is all very upsetting.
My daughter will have an audience with someone appointed by the court in the new year, but in reality, are there any positive stories out there where the residency arrangement has not been Changed?
I do not block her access in any way to her father or half sister - I even encouraged her to get on with his girlfriend 😫
Thank you
