We've got a schedule in place for our 4 year old son. Exh sees him every other weekend. I keep Wednesday evenings open for him for the weekend he doesn't have him but he rarely takes this opportunity up due to his work commitments.
He recently got married and his new wife is very hands on with our son and that's good to hear however he has recently proposed our son lives with him and goes to primary school in their town and grows up there (40 mins away) I don't believe this is suitable as he's only turned 4 less than a week ago and has only known a life living with me. (We left when he was 2)
I offered meeting in the middle (imho) by offering more weekend time as he wants to see his dad more too but hading over full physical care to his dad feels like a change too big for a child this young. Even if our son loves time at his dad's.
Could I take this to mediation? Nursery have also told me our son would love more time with his dad and it's effecting his behaviour too. I'm not sure how to go about this. Please help.
