I'm in the army and based in London. my ex and my daughter live near Preston, I live in the same town with my new partner and her daughter and my parents live in the same town also.
currently the arrangement is every other weekend I get to see my daughter but if I'm at work (as is often the case) then thats tough. The ex won't let my partner or my parents see my daughter in my absence. There's no good reason for this, just malice.
We are approaching our final hearing in court and I'm proposing that we go firm and establish a set routine of every other week but if I'm not there, daughter can still come to our house or to grandparents. The ex isn't buying it. She is still set on 'if you aren't there then tough'. I have attempted to compromise by suggesting swapping conflicted weekends, or by replacing weekends with weekdays (Monday, Tuesday eg) but again, she will not compromise.
I'm concerned that the court won't see the benefit of my plan. Any advice? Should I just knuckle under and give in to her idea?
