I've been looking at child law in the UK and can't see anything so thought I would ask the Mumsnet infinite wisdom. At the moment we don't have defined residence order or anything - I have assumed residence of son (5) and he has regular contact with his Dad as part of a private agreement i set up when we separated.
The problem is that he is now picking and choosing when he has son with little or no notice which is causing major problems for me with work (he has him one night a week and one day a week during the holidays so that I can go into the office).
Is there any order that I can apply for that would make him legally responsible for the childcare element of his contact i.e. if he doesn't do it, he has to arrange alternative suitable childcare or is liable for the childcare costs involved rather than me having to pick up the pieces and cover the costs each time he lets me down?
