Am going to court on the 10th for a contested shared residence hearing. My ex want 50/50 contact , is motive, he wants child tax credit shared, the guy doesnt want to work but eyeing the childs benefits. He told cafcass that i smack my dota all the time and all other loads of false accusations. He is a good play dad but not a carer such that when he has her on weekneds he takes her on a 2 and half hour train journey to his parents hse and another 2 and half hour trip back on sunday evenings. We have an interim order until the 10th oct as follows, 1 midweek sleepover and all the weekends for him. This is killing me as my dota is spending most of the time at school which means am spending very lillte quality time with her. Am trying to come up with a reasonable schedule so that the child is not moved up and down all the time as she is in pre sch now. She needs a proper routine. Am going to uni monday and tuesday, thought these would be his overnights, i want some weekends to be able to spend quality time with her and her step sister. My ex also wants weekends too. On the midweek when he takes her to school the childs hair is unbrushed her skin looks pale and dry cos he cant afford basic body lotion for his child. Help me with any suggestions. As much as i understand that children needs both parents, but when it comes to children under 10, shovering over 3 homes in one week is just cruel. what do physcologists or researchers say about all this. I feel upset.
