Partners Ex Being Spiteful

Hello Ladies and Gents,

Im looking for some advice. My partner and his ex are on less than speaking terms and recently my partner has started to become ill through stress which is affecting him both mentally and physically he is working two jobs just to make ends meet paying without fail his ex each month (rightly so) to pay for his children. He has them five days every two weeks which was agreed between them. Recently his ex has been speaking with a mediator but wont disclose to him what about? She has also requested a divorce and has gathered all the information from him but is refusing to show proof that she has actually put in the application? She has a new partner and has moved on so it very confusing. Last year they arranged for him to not have the kids this weekend as we had planned and prepaid for something but today she has said that she was not willing to have the children and he is now unable to go. There is no court order and as said this had been prearranged (a year ago)

What advice do you have he really needed this weekend to recharge and see his friends and now he wont be able to go. It seems quite spiteful on her part.

no court order so don’t collect the kids. You’ve given a years notice so that’s good enough. Don’t let anyone convince you that court for visitation is worth it because it really isn’t! A parent can break the court order and there’s nothing you can do but pay again. It’s a broken system that’s all about money and not the children or parents who are abused by the other parent.

I think before saying don’t collect the kids .. where are they ? Collected from school ? I would not leave my Dc at school waiting to be collected .

Did he not offer to swap weekend ?
