I was married for 6 years and now been separated for 18 months. I have 50% care of my two daughters (4 and 7). 2 nights each weekday and alternate weekends.
My ex has been given notice on her rental property. She receives housing benefit. She believes she can only find a property that is 45 mins from me, currently she is about 20 mins with schools half way in between.
She is taking a view that she can just move and change their schooling without any recourse.
Has anybody had experience of this, what is the best route for a non-confrontational approach, how effective are the implied rights of being a father that was married to the children’s mother and on the birth certificate who has demonstrated the ability to provide full care for his children?
I don’t want to enter any form of legal fight but I am looking at having to make a stance within a short period of time. Yes, I could easily have my children more to limit their disruption but I am not looking to change the balance in either persons favour as it is not in the girls’ interests.
Thoughts.
