I have posted on here but ages ago and have now taken my DS father to court in an attempt to get things in writing regarding his contact with his father.
Do not want to bore you all rigid but also do not want to dripfeed so think this is it in a nutshell:
We have agreed most of contact in an interim CAO but I wanted to know what others' thoughts were on length of time away on holiday from the other parent, particularly during the summer holidays?
This summer has been rather difficult to organise and too "bitty" in terms of back and forth between houses and want something concrete for the future so everyone knows what is going on.
I have been advised, and personally agree, that the best option could be to chunk time with (our 6 weeks here) alternating 1 week each then 2 weeks each. All other holidays splits are agreed as is weekends etc.
DS (7) hasn't spent longer than 7 days with his father to-date and I feel that 2 weeks is good for the next two years and would be beneficial for both of them to have a decent length of time together.
I know the Judge will decide in the end but really want to know what others think about periods of time away. I know it is important for DS to learn independence and get to know his other family better but feel 2 weeks is good for a few years.
Your views please and any experience of this would be gratefully received.
Thank you
