Co parenting

hi, so myself and my ex parent starting co parenting a few months ago
before we separated I took on full responsibility for our child
I did everything from the moment she woke to the moment she went to bed
now we are living separately he wants to have her three nights a week
which I’m struggling with
them one weekend she was sick while in his care and I wasn’t informed she was sick until 12 hours later.
i’ve always been the one to take care of her when she’s ill and I am upset because it took them over 12 hours to inform me that she’d been sick and wasn’t well. Am I right to be upset about this? And also what kind of rights has her primary carer? Do I have?

It’s all about the child’s rights.
the child has rights to spend equal time with each parent
but it should be developed not just set in stone.
age of child is key. But why wouldn’t you expect child to spend time with other parent?

resident parent has no or little rights, you will have the bulk of work and time and expense of child.

non resident parent pays cm for overnights not spent with them.

your job is to find ways to support the transition to shared care

its generally expected to start often and regular (age dependent) b4 moving to overnights.
