Coparenting
Can the other parent just turn up to take the child without a discussion, just demands? Theres currently no court order, as I’m awaiting solicitor appointment. I do have safety concerns and other reasons why I’m doing a court order, but can they just demand and it’s acceptable?

With no agreement in place anyone can make a demand. I guess it depends how you respond. Having everything organised in a legal document so everyone knows what the deal is makes sense and avoids these situations
Acceptable as in, the law? Or.. cause I think without a court ordered agreement anything is just a civil matter. You’re well in your right to say no. But make sure you note it down and the reasons for saying no, otherwise it can be used against you in court.
They can make demands but you don’t have to meet it. If you refuse keep track of when and why.
Yeah i keep a diary of everything! 🥴
As there’s no court order, he has the same rights as you. So yeah he can demand but you don’t have to agree
Obviously it would look bad if you was refusing him any contact without good reason
I’d offer him time that’s suitable for you and if he refuses that’s on him
Best of luck!
yeah I know, id never stop contact at all or without a good reason. But he’s not bothered with him, or asked how he’s doing or anything. Left us alone for 5 weeks because he’s been spoiling his new partner with holidays then demanded to pick him up, but he hasn’t shown up anyway
