Hi,
My ex generally lives overseas but has returned to Australia briefly. He is squatting in his brother's empty rental property and wants to have our 8 year daughter stay with him over the weekend. I am aware that there is one single mattress in the house but no other furniture. I think this is inadequate for her to stay overnight and have advised that I am happy for her to visit daytime only.
He recently took her away for a week in a van with a mattress in the back and she told me they went to the toilet 'in the bushes' and had 1 shower all week.
I am extremely worried about the poor level of care that he provides for our daughter but am unsure as to what my rights are in regards to not allowing her to stay overnight in his current accomodation. There is a court order that has awarded me sole parental responsibility and provides him with access for half school holidays and each alternate weekend. (The court order predates his move o/s).
I am thinking of getting the order reviewed to reflect the current situation but in the meantime am concerned as to how to handle things. Any help would be most appreciated!
Many thanks.
