Court order!

Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me please?

I've been in court twice discussing child access. On the last hearing I presented my ex with a schedule to which he agreed. However I've since received a letter from my ex's solicitor stating he would like a court order put in place the hearing date in 3 wks time to go ahead to put this in place.

His solicitor has put together a schedule to which they would like being made into an order but it's completely different to what we agreed last time!!

I'm so fed up of my ex playing games and can't quite believe what he's doing.

I feel like I'm being very reasonable and was even praised in court last time by his solicitor. I'm stating that he sees the children 1 day in the wk and every other wkend with 1 overnight stay. He now wants overnight in the wk and 2 nights on the wkend.

Can anyone please advice me what will now happen in court as he's clearly gone against what was previously agreed and now wants an order put in place for something totally different. He's even changed the day on which we agreed he'd see the children!!

I'm dealing with an idiot and what ever I suggest he disagrees with!

Ha no I'll keep that to myself!!

I do have a genuine concert and I'm glad others see that.

Just unsure when to agree to my 8 month old to stay at his now?!

He does have a choice and can leave easily! Why can't he? I did for my children!

I see what you're saying but I don't think it's a reasonable request.

When do you think would be reasonable for your 8mo to stay overnight?

It isn't a reasonable request to get him to leave and I don't think a court would either tbh.

I'd never ask him to leave. It's just hyperthetical and I was trying to prove a point!

I have no idea about my 8 month old. What do others in my situation do?!

Sorry for the late reply my DS goes over night midweek and has done since he was in private nursery from 3 years old. He collects him on tuesday and takes him to school wednesday. DS is now 7 and it doesnt affect him or school. It is a reasonable request.
