My ex-wife and I have been separated for five years and divorced for almost four. We’ve got two beautiful kids together who are six and seven. When we broke up our divorce turned acrimonious, bitter and nasty. We had to go through lawyers to sort out custody for our kids as it got to the point where we couldn’t speak without shouting at each other.
She’s going completely against the terms of our custody agreement and I’m livid. She’s already told the kids they’re spending it with her like it’s case closed. I really don’t want a Christmas Eve showdown with her when I go to pick them up. What are my rights?Source:istockChristmas is supposed to be a time of joy, however for some families it can unfortunately be a really tricky and challenging time of the year.
The purpose of both parenting plans and parenting orders are to set out the care arrangements for your children, however only parenting orders are legally enforceable. Your ex-wife’s position that she is entitled to the children on Christmas Day because she lives alone and you have a new family is not something considered in this situation.The arrangements should be in the best interests of the children rather than the parents. Picture: iStockThe overarching factor is that the arrangements are to be in the best interests of the children.
Even though a parenting plan cannot be enforced, it may be relevant to the court’s decision as evidence of the arrangements that were in place.Christmas is usually a time for the family to come together but that can be difficult if there is divorce in the family.
