Opinion on situ with exH

[User2410]

So me and exH have been separated for a couple months properly. He's with OW moved in and all that. He has told me he has 2 weeks off holiday and has booked to go on a 'lads' holiday for one week out of the 2 . This was last week. I've just told him that I'm going away in the other week and if he wants to stay in my house to make it easier that's fine. He's come back and said he's not having the kids as he's away for 4 days in the other week he is off. Obviously with OW.
What can I do?! I'm f*ing fuming!!

Unfortunately there is no legal obligation to make an unwilling father take responsibility for their children (except in a very minimal way, financially, in terms of child maintenance). You can't make him.

Sorry. It's shit. You're right, it would have made sense for him to do a bit of parenting and fair for you to get a break. You will have to find another option though (or take DC along with you on holiday).

nothing you can do to force him to see them - and tbh if he is this bad, why would you want him round them anyway. Either way - get CMS to deal with the maintenance. And if he continues to abuse you via message - well go to Women's Aid and I would also report his harassment to the police.
