Hey guys,
My partner has filed an application for parenting plan 6 months after his ex moved 4 hours away interstate with his child. Before the move, his son was in our care every weekend. After the move, his son has still been in our care every weekend but we understand this may change when he starts school next year.
The first hearing date isn't until march so it's a waiting game until then, but she has turned around and said that it's 'unfair' that we have the child every weekend because the weekend is 'family time' and he needs to 'spend more time with his half-brother.'
My partner's son is in his ex's care 5 days a week. She doesn't send him to the kindergarten program he's enroled in so they're all sitting around, all day, for 5 days a week getting more than enough quality time together.
Is this a legitimate request on her part? She's using the brother as an excuse, but we know she really means spending time with his stepfather, which shouldn't cut into my partner's time with his son.
What rights do we have under Family Law if she starts withholding his son on weekends for this reason?
Cheers
