Daughter

Ok, so my Daughter decided she wanted to stay with her Dad when I moved a few years ago for work. Now she has told him that she wants to live with me. She is turning 11 soon. She says to him that he is too strict (he is controlling which is part of the reason I left). She has not told me this yet (next due to see her August for school holidays). Ex has told her to finish her junior school and then decide, if she is very unhappy do I make her stick it out or try and talk to him about it? Just to be clear he has a child arrangement order in his favour currently (although we know if we agree we don't have to vary that in court).

Are you coming back to the other thread you made today? You have lots of complicated parenting issues to resolve!

Sorry posted too soon! Does your ex know you are married and have a dss? Will this impact his decision to let your daughter live with you?

Does it have to be all or nothing? Is there no way to make a more balanced arrangement work? It's pretty hard on a kid to have to choose which parent they want to live with full time and then only see the other one a handful of times a year, that would be quite upsetting IMO.
