Does he need to vary?

My ex took me to court last year. At the time he lived quite away from us in his girlfriends house.

We had discussions about whether this was too far to facilitate overnight midweek access. Two minutes before the hearing began, after four hours of barrister negotiations, his barrister revealed he'd bought a property half a mile from mine. The court ruled that midweek overnight could begin from September 2019 when my son starts nursery school on this basis. The court order also states I have to drop him off and pick him up from ex's.

Six months since the order was made, I've now received a letter from ex saying hes moving back to the old house. The court order was predicated on him buying a house close to child's nursery. I know he's done this to be completely manipulative and underhand. But should he now have to apply for a variation? Surely at least on a technicality he'd have to because the court order stipulates I have to drop off and pick up at ex's house and him moving would change this.

Any thoughts?

Either of you could take it back to court. What are the relative distances and travel times to the two properties?
