Any help would be much appreciated!
I currently have my 3.5yr old 4 nights a fortnight. No family court orders in place. Current arrangements were sent to me by ex’s solicitors and I haven’t agreed to them. Although I assume that in following them for several months we have an implicit agreement?
We had a parenting plan that had the 4 nights plus some additional day contact, but the ex now denies we had a plan (although I have text records where she confirms it exists). She is now trying to reduce overnights. Mediation went nowhere. I was always heavily involved in all aspects of care prior to the separation and it is really obvious that changes have upset the 3.5yr old. Also have a mounting list of events where she is interfering with our child’s time with me.
Do I have a good chance of getting more time if I head to court? Even if the days step up over time?
I am also worried that she may seek an IVO based on some text messages. Not in any way aggressive (have never been aggressive) and only about our child’s behaviour and asking her if she wanted the child to call her while in my care, but she has mentioned harassment before and the solicitor letter said only practicalities to be discussed over text and she didn’t respond to messages. Would an IVO application on these grounds be possible as it would seem incredibly frivolous to me?
