Hi All,
My daughter's dad is taking me to court to change our access agreement. He married last year and now basically wants to fix the days he sees her, no exceptions. I want to keep it flexible so that she can still go to sleepovers, play dates etc. (she is an only child) which mainly happen on Fridays, one of the days he wants to fix. It is important to note also that the flexibility extends to him too as we used to discuss what his plans for the weekend/coming weeks were, so that if he had a night out planned, or was going away, she would stay with me and go to him a different night.
I have no real family court experience so don't know what to expect in the courtroom, or how to prepare myself for it. Do we give evidence? Do we even speak?
Any and all advice welcome. I just want to get out the other side of this with what's best for my daughter.
Thanks for any help.
