Parental Responsablitys

[miss.understood]

not sure if this belongs here or familys or both. anyhow i have full time care of jake the only court order for him is that his father has parental responsablitys and has accesss over nite once a fortnite. now coz he has that stupid bit of paper saying he can now have a say in how i bring up jake and he can do this that and the other if he thinks jake would be better off . i have struggled this past 2 weeks with jake and his ADHD and AS, i would have liked him to have stayed with his dad for 1 of the weeks, but his dad was too busy with his new girlfriend ( thats a whole other story) now i am thinking oh my god 6 weeks summer holiday jake william fight oh my god. i struggled for 2 weeks let alone 6 :shock: is there anyway i can use the order to my advantage to make him have jake for 3 of the 6 weeks to help me out or do you think i am gonna have to go back to court to force him to have him like that? as i have to sort this out now and not 5 mins before the hols start.

I'm moving this from Legal to Parenting Chat, because I think you might get more answers there :)

hiya :wave: just seen this sorry... my hubby says he has to have him the days said by the court if you want him to have him more often you can always ask him but you cant make him although you can take him to court to get it granted again...if he took you to court in the first place for parental responsability he should be man enough to help you out with out you asking.... hope this makes sense to you im just typing what hubby telling me too...if he did it he'd still be typing tomorrow... :laff:

Unfortunately i don't think you can MAKE him have him for any longer than the order says but i would expect if he is THAT concerned about havign a say in his upbringing that he will WANT to have him for a longer period than 1 night once a fortnight especially during the holidays, i'm guessing though that you don't think he WILL do this.

Could you not just have a chat to him and just mention casually, that it would be nice if your ex had him for a week or something during the holidays if only to break the holidays up for your LO and stop him getting bored.

Sorry if i've been no help!
