Access issue

Hi everyone,
First time posting and was wondering if I might have thoughts/advice on the following family issue, and see if anyone else has experience of it.
My sister is the primary carer for her three children, who live with her following her divorce. Her ex has access every other weekend and one evening. The issue at hand is that he is going to be away for a few weeks, and yet is insisting my nephews still go to his house on the designated weekend, with his new girlfriend (the reason for the divorce) being solely responsible for them. My sister and the children are very much against this (children beside themselves). My question is, does she have to let them go to his house under access rights if he isn’t present? I’ve been trying to Google the situation and have come up with nothing. Thank you.

Is there a cao - court order - in place?

If so, then technically not making them available for the contact is a breach. Who he chooses to care for them is his decision...

If no order, then non issue.

How old are the children?

I wouldn't make a fuss. When the girlfriend turns up for them then tough shit.

Interested in this thread?

Thank you for your reply - yes there is an order in place, and that answers my question - hard to hear, but appreciated.

God he sounds HORRIBLE.

Who the fuck are all these men who want to make their own children miserable????

What age are they? The children have a right to feel safe and happy. I'd listen to their thoughts on this.

This surely is a no?!?!

Does she have parental responsibility ???

I guess not so the answer is no.

Isn't access weekends for children to spend time with the non resident parent? In this case if the father isn't at home this particular weekend then they're not spending time with him, but the girlfriend? I'm not an expert at all.
