Me and my partner have his daughter every other weekend. We work shifts which means when ever he has an 'early' shift he also picks her up from school and takes her for tea. His daughter lives 30 miles away or we would obviously have her over night during the week too. Due to his shifts we always pre-book the pick up dates after school in a shared a calender. He works 1/5 weekends too which I don't so I am available to have her on the 3 weekends of the year that work falls on the weekend we have her.
His ex keeps pushing to say she should stay on another weekend when he isnt working and the time shouldn't be spent with me. During the holidays they split the time too. He also pays £420 in maintenance due to the lesser value of being able to have her over night during the week. It wouldn't be fair to wake her at 4:30 to take her home for school and for him to go to work thereafter during the week.
This has been going on for three years and I've had enough of the dictatorship and her making my husband feel like shit. I am also expecting and petrified of her knowing because I know the stress and pressure she will bring on us and SD. We also know SD stays at her uncles every Friday and this main is not allowed unsupervised visits with his own child and there's nothing we can do about it! Please can you give me some kind advice before we get mediation/ family solicitor help.
The length of messages we receive is horrendous, this is from a woman who made me wait six months to meet SD but happily introduced her other half after two weeks. It has gone from not staying to her wanting her daughter out of her house when ever she can.
