Hi there,
Our consent orders state that we are to have Shared care and responsibilities.
However my ex husband stopped having shared care of our two children over 3 years ago, barely sees them and refuses to pay child support. The children are 12 and 14 and want to be part of an upcoming reality TV series that I am involved in. It's a wild life reality doco that they will only briefly appear in and will not effect their schooling or social life whatsoever as it's filmed around our normal activities. The ex is refusing to give his permission for the girls to be part with any discussion, reasons etc.
To our knowledge, we don't need his permission, but his lawyer is stipulating his "parental responsibilities" as his excuse. Yet it also clearly says in our consent orders that we need to both make a genuine effort to come to a joint decision. Can he really just deny them their wish without any effort to understand or discuss this project?
I would SO appreciate any advice!!!
