Ex threatening court

[Orchard2006]

Hi, I have seen a lot of useful info on this site so thought I would ask for some myself. During the time my ex and I split up I have had issues regarding help from him. My daughter does a lot of clubs the ones which are causing problems are beavers and a stage school she attends as these activities can be on the weekend. My ex has decided to move over 2 hours away and now wants her to stop all these activities so she can stay with him every weekend, he has said he will take me to court over this. When I first set up payments through the cms I put down less than 52 nights because he doesn’t have her every weekend if he has plans but he changed it to 52-103. He won’t help with taking her to these activities I was wondering if courts look at this and a child’s social activities she has been part of the scouts association for nearly 3 years and at her stage school for 18months. I was also thinking about her friends birthday parties if the court was to grant him an order for a Friday to Sunday then she would never make it to a birthday party. Any help would be appreciated I’ve been worrying so much about this and I can’t seem to find much information online

How old is your dd? This makes a lot of difference.

Also, have you kept a diary of all previous contact/ cancellation of contact etc.

He won't get every weekend as you wouldn't get any quality time with her too. The most he'd get is probably every other weekend.

I would offer every third weekend as it's long way for EOW plus perhaps 65% of the school holidays.

He could have the weekends extended by Bank Holidays or teacher training days? So it may not be strictly EOW but it could be worked out well in advance using the school
Calendar.

Hi she is 7, and I’ve asked for help in the holidays when my child minders away and he replied with I cant dictate when she stays there are none of her clubs running in the holidays so the holidays shouldn’t be an issue. I work full time so I do only get limited time with her and the stage school is something we do together I’m also worried about the costs if he does go through the court

What contact does he have now? What age is she?

Contact time with the father will be deemed more important than children’s clubs by the courts.
