Well that's technically correct, but that's where you need to get orders that stipulate things clearly I suppose. Everything favours the primary carer because they have complete flexibility and choice about how to structure the time of the child while under their care (have them in daycare, take them out of daycare etc), whereas the non-resident parent tends to be allocated blocks of x hours on certain days and if there is to be any deviation from that, it has to be by negotiation with the primary carer parent who has no incentive to be flexible to the other parent at all.
Independent, but not a large child care group... an individual not for profit co-operative daycare. Still bound by all the usual rules and regulations of the state body though.
Similar to mine. Interesting.
Yea that's why I've always hated when lawyers try to put things in place, then say something like attend a mediation at the time the child turns x age or whatever to re discuss.
With orders in place, there's no incentive for the other parent to oblige in changing anything.
On a side note...
I had a mate tell me the other day, his brother went to pick up his kids from his ex under their orders awhile ago.
She wouldn't open the door and had her boyfriend in there laughing and sticking his middle finger up at him... Obviously trying to play off his temper.
He's got his orders re enstated, don't believe he had any make up time or any breaches applied to the mother.
