slightly long will try not to ramble
Divorced 8+ years 3dc, eldest is 18 so stays mostly with me sees his dad as and when.
Younger 2 (14&11) stay 4 days with me & 3 days with exh it has been like this since we split, he has never made any noises about wanting to change it & neither have DC's.
UNTIL last w/e then out of the blue apparently the younger DC's want it to be shared care 50/50 apparently completely their idea!
I have a terrible relationship with exh and cannot talk about this with him without an argument (not in front of kids)
I do not believe that the kids want this,it's causing them huge stress they tell me one thing & then him another.
I think it is financially motivated as as soon he has them 50/50 he will not have to pay maintenance! (He only pays for youngest as he gets child benefit for middle one thanks to the amazing decision of the CB office some years ago!!!)
He now says he wants to go down the mediation route & then family court does anybody have experience of this??
