Have finally agreed on Children's Orders (will be sealed by court this week) which state kids spend time with me as of next year "From the conclusion of school on Friday to the commencement of school on Monday in each alternate week and from the conclusion of school on Monday to the commencement of school on Wednesday in each alternate week."
I understand the intent of what the Judge ordered but the other side has a very aggressive lawyer, has been taking every opportunity to threaten contravention applications over the smallest details with the Interim Orders that I think this will happen with Final Orders, too.
I understand this to read Fri-Mon in one week and Mon-Wed in the other week but have a feeling the other side will interpret it to read Fri-Mon and Mon-Wed in the same week, and drop the kids off to school on Mon morning and then come back later that afternoon to collect the kids until Wed morn. Am I interpreting the wording correctly or not? Have already made changes using the Slip Rule, other side's lawyer refusing to make any further changes. What happens next year if I'm right? There are other points in the Orders that can be interpreted in different ways, too. How easy is it to change Final Orders once they are sealed for the sake of clarity? Or will an "incident" need to occur for the courts to make changes? Thanks for any advice. Feels like it will never be over even once Final Orders are sealed!
