Legal duty to inform NRP of clubs children attend?

7 replies

Do I, the RP, have a legal requirement to inform the NRP of exact details of clubs which the children attend while they are with me?
Does it make a difference if the club is therapeutic - combining an activity they enjoy with mild therapeutic input designed to support their mental health - not prescribed or referred by any professional but aimed at children struggling with mental health challenges?

Just to preempt any questioning - I did inform him of it, including the name of the charity who run it. He CBA to look them up and is now whining that I didn't tell him so he didn't understand what it was and that I have a legal requirement to inform him of such things. Is he correct?

No obligation at all. As a dp with PR you can decide to book your dc in any clubs you see fit...not his business..
He is a pita as I am sure you are aware...

No, he's talking shite unless you have a court order to declare otherwise.

Nope.. no legal requirement at all. School choice is very different. Even medical treatment you can consent yourself..

My exh enroled our dc in several clubs and tried to have ordered I had to take them in my time. Judge ruled dc's relationships with me and siblings was more important. Exh's try on all sorts of crap ime.

Ok thanks. I thought that was the case but wanted to check before replying to tell him to jog on.

It's so stupid of him because I did tell him and gave him the name of it. The information was all there if he had cared to do a 2 min Google. I think he thinks I have a legal obligation to spoon feed him everything and to continue to act as if we were together in terms of the mental load. Sadly for him I won't do that and sadly for the dc he won't make the effort himself.

If there Is regular in place it's best practice and in the spirit of a child arrangement order to advise the other parent of such arranged activities especially if there is a mental health component. Although I appreciate from the tone of your note communication with your ex is not straightforward.

Apologies, supposed to say above that if there was regular contact in place...
