I'll be brief and to the point.
Prior to Sunday, my ex and I were following an informal shared care plan, and had also agreed upon an informal sharing of the Christmas holiday period. When I say informal, I mean it was written and agreed upon via text message. Also a photo of a calendar highlighting each other's days over Christmas was agreed upon.
However, on Sunday, 2pm is the usual pickup time for the boys, 3 years old and 8 years old to go back to their mother. It's agreed I have them from Wed 3pm till Sunday 2 or 3 pm every fortnight. On this particular Sunday, she decided pickup was at 12, not 2 and proceeded to argue the point over the phone until I hung up, as it is not something I should even have to argue.
Roughly 15 mins later, she has shown up to where I was with the boys! She refused to leave until the agreed time and I decided after a brief argument that it wasn't worth arguing over.
I messaged her later that we had a few options to sort this out and that it was inappropriate. She didn't take kindly to that. So now, I'm being denied any communication with the children and I will not be seeing or speaking to them till a family court date.
What can I do?
