Anyone here trying to co-parent with someone who is deeply religious?

[AnotherRuinedChristmas]

In particular a Jehovahs Witness?

I am watching a relative have their Christmas ruined (second time) because their ex has twice disrupted their parenting time with solicitors letters, unfounded accusations and so on. Last year it led to my relative having to go to court to get court ordered custody due to their child being kept away from them for weeks over the Christmas period.

I am trying to understand if this is likely connected to the whole Christmas thing or genuine concerns.

this year I have been dragged into it by the ex and am considering contacting a solicitor myself.

Is Christmas a particular problem because Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe it should be celebrated?
Depending on their age(s) there could also be major problems ahead about the schooling/education of the child or children.
I think you would be wise to consult a solicitor yourself if the ex is trying to involve you, in a court case, perhaps?

I think the best thing is to probably encourage the Relative to join MN themselves. They’ll probably find both the Relationship and the Legal Sections useful.

did you decide to get a solicitor involved? certainly i would at least go to CAB to get free advice as a step if you can. And then solicitors if it carries on.
What are they accusing your relative of doing?
JWs have a "tainted" view of life and anyone not in it so can be extremely hard to reason with.
my best wishes to you that this is resolved for all but especially the childrens sake
