Taking children away during term - who''s decision?

If you go down the court route, I suspect the net result will be very similar to what you have now.

Not a wise move to behave like that at handover time. I know you were probably provoked, etc. However, no one will listen to you at the family court…
It''s control, etc. She knows the system is on her side so she knows what button to push you. Really try your best not to enter her emotional game. It''s over between the 2 parents. Just blank out this person emotionally. You just need to know the kids are not in danger with her. That''s all.

The question is, do you accept the amount of time you have with your kids now? If you do, focus on the time you can spend with your kids.
Work by the clock. Not really a big deal to take the kids to her place in the grand scheme of thing. Try hard to ignore the petty little things (like not having a chance to say goodbye to the kids) that can wind you up.

I am in a not dissimilar situation. I do not know what to do and what I will do either...

(I have to take my kid to his mom. My kid cries and doesn''t want to go to his mom at her doorstep every time. She has to physically grab the kid off me legs…
Upsetting for the kid? Definitely!
Anything I can do? None!
Will it get better? According to the court, the kid will adapt emotionally...!)
