Child contact - what is fair

28 replies

Divorcepending2023 · 19/06/2023 17:06

I’m just after some advice in relation to potential child contact for my 2 year old. I have decided to divorce my husband due to lots of lies over the years and have recently found out he is a regular cannabis user (previously admitted to twice a year in counselling). He is a good dad and loves LO dearly but is mainly about the fun stuff. I do the lions share of the parenting, drs apts, time off for sickness etc.

He wants 50/50 where as I feel every other weekend is more appropriate allowing my LO to maintain a routine etc. My work is more flexible and I work part time whereas he works full time. Another side is honestly I don’t want to miss out on time with her, selfishly the breakdown of this marriage is due to his actions.

I’m not sure what to think or the best course of action but would be grateful for any views

Ask yourself this OP - would you be open to only seeing your daughter every other weekend? If not then why do you think that's okay for the father?

Are you fine with the cannabis use?
