Things have taken a turn for the worse with DP ex and we're debating whether to go to the courts.
We're not sure how to arrange this with littlest impact to the DC. If we arrange to go to court, will the DC need to be involved?
Currently we have them EOW and DP used to have them one night during the week but that's no longer possible due him changing jobs and them not being flexible. He had no choice about changing job, it was either take another job with less flexibility or be unemployed and not be able to pay CM.
The Ex is very bitter towards us, constantly playing the victim but when she wants flexibility it's all ok.
If we have a specific court order, will additional time with DC be permitted? Obviously this would be down to Ex agreeing but we don't want to arrange only EOW when in the future we might be able to have them more often.
Also we will be having a honeymoon later next year and this may be for two weeks, would we be best to arrange for grandparents to help out if it affects a DC weekend or if we give enough notice to Ex, could this be agreed with them or would we need to go to the courts? It will only be this one time it may affect the children and I think a honeymoon is a fair reason.
