Hi All,
I am going to submit an application to the court. Probably in the next 2-3 months. I am thinking of using emergency application for a Specific Issue Order allowing DD, 6, to come to my home country with me - nearby EU country. Variation on Child Arrangements Order would be part of same application.
Prep?
I am not sure if I need to warn the other side that I intend to apply, she was invited to mediation in December and just danced around the issue. Mediator is happy to do MIAM and sign me off when I am ready. I'm also unsure about how much unreasonable correspondence I need from her to justify the application.
Strategy?
I am thinking I'll book tickets to go and see enormous extended family for our Birthdays in the Autumn, we were born three days apart. I've already asked ex to arrange this, she has not honoured with a response.
1) Will time with extended family be enough to justify short notice hearing
2) should I book flights just for 2 nights she is due to be with me anyway? Ex insists she is safe with me for 2 nights but not for 3.
3) how far in advance of intended travel dates should I make the application?
4) how long should I give her to consent to the trip outside of UK?
I hope you can advise on the best way to go about things. Let me know if more info would be helpful.
Thanks very much.
