Hi. I am just looking for a little advice. My baby is 5 months old, my babies dad and I are no longer together as he walked out and left us. He has proposed to see my son 3 nights a week, two nights during the week and bring him back early morning before he goes to work (he lives 40 minutes away) and alternative Friday/Saturday nights for the full following day. It’s so important to me that my son has stability and knows his home is here with me, I feel like three over night stays is a little too much, considering his age. I don’t know where I stand with this, if it was to go to medication/court. Any help/advice would be very much appreciated

You would be best speaking to a solicitor as everyones situation is different.
If he is on the birth certificate then from a legal standpoint he should be able to have equal access to the child. What he is proposing means you would still have the child the majority of the time however he is entitled to see his son and if it does go to court it doesn't look good if his access is denied.
I would maybe trial out a night to see how it goes? The reality of having a young baby 3 nights may not be as appealing to him. Do you have concerns regarding his parenting? It would probably be beneficial at this time to keep it out if court and come to a an agreement between you both
