Acceptable drop off times

Hi
If I do nights instead of days they would be staying at his overnight so no early drop off as they''ll already be there. I already do 2 weeks of days / 2 weeks nights rotation.

Failing that I would have to cut my hours down not what I want to do as I have worked so hard , the one thing I did argue over my career and im so glad I did now. He never wanted me to further myself go to uni etc and I stood my ground

Why not just allow dad extra contact? Seems like its you who is concerned with receiving more maintenance and would prefer to make life harder for youraelf rather than lose out on money.

Sorry but I completely disagree with your viewpoint and am quite offended actually.

My STBEX has emotionally abused me for years had contact with children when it suits him and generally made my life hell. as some of my previous posts have detailed.

He only has contact when im working the last night out I got without kids he lied about his dad being in intensive care.

Im deeply offended that someone would think im only interested in obtaining more money from him .

For the record he earns in the region of 60 k plus and im trying to enforce minimum maintenance !!!!

At present it comes across as your wanting your ex to be a child minder to have the children for a couple of hours in morning which isnt good contact. Its you that have suggested that he attempting to increase his contact for maintenance reasons.

All I am suggesting is dont make life hard for yourself and the children for the sake of some maintenance, its not worth it.

If you want dad to be more responsible and have good contact, make contact about the children rather than about your work commitments. You need to separate the two issues.
