Help with access rights my ex will get to our two year old

[monkeyfacegrace]

Hi all,
Im new here so please be gentle. Having a bit of a crisis. Usual stuff Im afraid, ex left me 2 weeks after honeymoon for someone else (now split up and he's living with mummy and daddy), and we have a 2 year old daughter. Split when she was 1. For the last year, I have let him see her every Sat night till Sun night. The had a son with new partner, so cut it to every other weekend as my kids needed time to bond too.
Anyway, now he is seeing solicitors etc calling the shots cuz he wants to take her on holiday. I wanna scream and shout over my dead body cuz my daughter is literally my world and no way would we cope without each other, never been apart for more than a night. But he will get this when he takes me to court. I cant get legal aid and cant afford a solicitor so Im totally lost and scared of being bullied.
Please help cuz I dont know what to do x

This is genuinally a question though it sounds funny typed... is it really in her best interests to make her go away for a week though? Obv school etc is for a reason, but I cant see how this is in her best interests. Seeing him every day for a week for different day trips etc, yeah make her go, but a whole week away from me when she never has at the age of two (and a very shy mummy two). Genuine question so responses welcome.

To address one point that is being discussed, I thought it was quite normal for a non resident parent to have fortnightly contact. For the reasons the OP stated. If a resident parent works or the child is at school/nursery etc then they may not spend a lot of quality time with the child in the week and so fortnightly contact with a NRP sounds perfect as the weekends are shared. If it was weekly, the RP will have no full days to spend with their child.

I have no experience with the other issues so cannot comment.
