50/50 Shared residencey

[Puppy72]

Hi all.
Has anyone had 50/50 residency awarded when they really didn't want it to be? Would like to hear your experiences.

I’m really interested In this post And answers so following as I may have to go through this

Thank you. Anyone care to share??

Me ex wanted 50/50 and I wanted a live with order. He was adamant all the way. Outcome was children will live with me and spend time with him on alternate weekends and every weds teatime.
If the other party has always done 50/50 then fair enough but the court tends to stick with the status quo and my outcome seems to be a very popular order. Hope that helps.

Thank you. My ex is threatening 50/50 but he's a violent bully whose abused both my daughter and I so I'm hopeful he'll get least contact possible... But just fearful if we get one of those judges that is sympathetic towards him.. Hopefully they'll take into account what social services have said.

Men like this frequently make threats of this kind to get at you because they know you'll worry about it, but it doesn't happen and neither would they want it to - too much work for them.

@ButteryPuffin I agree with you. Too much effort, time, and expense.. He would have to sell his house to get through the courts system, I know he would.

Have you reported the abuse? If not, do so. Especially of your daughter but you too.

Yes it's all been reported. We had police and social services involved. I fled some months ago. Then he was slapped with a non molestation order. Just worried about his PR rights and how he'll use them to make my life miserable. I'll never be able to take my daughter on holiday. We have different surnames also.

It's not true that you will not be able to take your child on holiday. You can apply to the court to give permission, which is not normally refused if the request is reasonable.
