Hi everyone I am in need of help,
I have just moved house with my 2 boys and my 1yr old won't let me do anything I am physically and mentally worn-out and have asked his dad to help by having him twice a week when he is on late shift which he agreed to and when he is on early shift to have him on a Saturday till Sunday tea time for my son to spend time with his dad and sister, and so I can have a day with my oldest son and he kept refusing to have him and trying to change when I want him to have him so it convenient for him and not helping me then when I kept pushing for him to have our son he said he has an legally binding court order to say his weekend with his daughter is for him and her only and cannot have my son there does anyone know if this kind of thing is right or is he just saying it so he doesn't have to have his kids together
Thank you for any help x

I’ve no experience to speak of with family courts etc but have you seen this alleged court order?
Is he paying for your child?

mybabyboy33 · 18/06/2021 21:14

No I haven't seen this court order and no until 2 months ago I paid for everything he only buy for him when he has him which is once a week sometimes once every 2 weeks

He won't have a court order unless there has been a hearing. You would have been informed of the hearing and given a chance to put your case. It sounds like he is making it up.

I would doubt it. The courts won't specify what you can and can't do, or who you can see, during contact time unless it relates to the safety of the child.

He may well have a child arrangements order that specifies that the time is for him and his daughter, but it is likely written that way to exclude any new partner he might have, not to exclude a half sibling.

Not sure why you're wasting your time, he obviously isn't that interested in your child, can't be bothered to pay maintenance, can't be bothered to make firm consistent arrangements...he's extremely unlikely to change and the only one that will suffer from feeling unwanted as he gets older is your baby.
