Oh and I just remembered.
FOB was told to try and sort it with me as he wouldn't stand much chance in court but was told to approach me with the absolute most he wanted so that we could compromise on that to the point where I wouldn't agree to his demands right out (as no mother would) and then he would still get something rather than nothing.
Well I rejected his demands outright and after a couple of months of hearing nothing from him he emailed me to apologise and could we start again. He now comes to mine when in the country and spends a few hours a day with us.
So just because he threatens court, doesn't mean it will happen, but if it does, it no way means he will get all his demands met if even one.
You have to be smart now. Keep a diary of everything. You need to back up your reasons as to why he can't have XYZ.....
