looking for some advice….
I have 2 boys with 2 Mums, my eldest son is now a grown-up, but when he was younger his mum and I managed to sort things out between us - finances, time with me, collections and drop offs, and when I wanted to take my son away during school holidays, it was never a problem.
My youngest son’s mum isn’t quite as easy to sort things out with…. She can be very selfish and I struggle to get any extra time with him (other than my normal alternate weekends) during the school holidays.
For example, I’ve asked to have him from Thursday to Monday, during the Easter holidays, and over my weekend, so we can go away for a few days. It’s 4 nights when I’d normally have him for 2…. his mum has come back with the generous offer of 1 extra night… so we either leave a day late or come back a day early 🤷🏻♂️
I intend to start mediation proceedings in the hope of getting a Child Agreement Order sorted, as it’s the same arguments every Christmas, and whenever I want to have any more than 2 nights every 2 weeks.
So my query is, how much of the school holidays would I be entitled to?
I have struggled to find a definitive answer online… so any insight would be gratefully received.
I just want to spend as much time with him as I can, but whenever I ask for any extra it’s like I’ve asked for her spleen!!
Many thanks in advance 😊
