hi all, I’m new to the site and couldn’t find the answer anywhere else,
I’m newly separated (10 months) and the mother is the resident parent of our 2 kid (nothing through the courts).
Recently shes been complaining about childcare issues and told me that I need to do more or she’ll stop me seeing them all together….
I have them 3 nights a week at the moment and work shifts thr other 4so am restricted to what I can/can’t do.
Shes saying that I should take unpaid shifts off work to have the kids on days she has work? Is this a normal request?
I’d assumed that as she wanted and took on the resident parent title (and the benefits/maintenance payments that go with it) that then the day to day childcare was her issue? And as long as I have my kids my 3 nights a week (obviously the days in between) then I’m doing my side of the bargain
Am I being unreasonable?
Basically I was looking to know eat the ‘legal line is on responsibilities of the resident parent
Cheers all
