Hi to all..my first post ever.
Very bad divorce with soon to be ex..he is fleecing me money wise and a real bully thru law and in life. 2 kids one with mild autims and he wants a joint residence order but has not much contact..any tips or views? Am slowly drowning in this.tx

Sorry to hear that you are having a tough time, at least you are getting out, if you know what I mean. All of this will pass, you will get the other side!

What exactly do you need advice and help with?, your OP is not overly clear...

Welcome to Mumsnet! We don't bite often, so let us know how we can help!

Hi..well, if anyone has any experience of securing a sole residence order when the ex and non resident parent wants a joint residence order..do say..that's for starters!

Have you tried the CAB, they will help you.

Joint Residence would be fairly normal in a situation where parents were married and lived together, as it is a continuation of the responsibilities they had before (as joint parents). It is not the same as 50/50 split and isn't necessarily about amounts of contact, although if there have been difficulties a defined contact order may also be made alongside that of Residence.

Have you tried/suggested mediation? Has your ex actually applied for a Joint Residence Order?

funny you should mention that.going to try and mediate shuttle style next month. he hasn't applied yet 4 jt residence order just keeps threatening it..now there is no way children procs will occur before finances are resolved.
