Hi,
I could do with some advice and wondered if anyone had any experience of this...
I'm due to deploy short notice to herrick for 12 weeks. I'm divorced with a 20 month old, I have equally shared custody of my son.
While I'm deployed I want my sister (my NOK) to live in my house and look after my son for the time I would usually have him. My ex is refusing to allow me to do this saying that as soon as I leave the country all my rights as a parent are gone and he is the only person who is allowed to look after our son.
Normally I wouldn't have an issue with him loking after him but he's due to move house and therefore my son will be in a strange house, looked after 7 am- 6 pm by his grandparents who he doesn't know that well. I plan on keeping him in his own home and carrying on a few mornings a week with his childminder who he loves!
Any ideas where I stand on my parental rights?! I really don't want this to end up in court, I've got enough stress deploying!
