Son's holiday

[petesgrayz]

My son is divorced from his wife and both have new partners. His ex wife takes his son on holiday with her new man but refuses to let my son know where they are going. Does he have a right to know?

[McMouse]

What were the access provisions when they divorced?

Does your son's ex-wife have custody of the child?
Does the holiday contravene your access rights?
If the answers are Yes and No respectively then I'd have thought they can go away for a short holiday without telling you where they are going.
I'm wondering why he feel he needs to know.

[petesgrayz]

He has access 1 evening a week and every Saturday. On alternate Saturdays he is allowed to sleep over.

How long is theholiday?
I assume that will prevent him getting access on the terms mentioned, but I assume access agreements include some provision for holidays.

Depends, if they are removing the child from the country then they need his permission

[petesgrayz]

He feels he should know his sons whereabouts when he is taken out of the country.

[factor-fiction]

He needs to look at the access agreement

[bobjugs12]

Check the terms of the access agreement, but it should state that written consent must be given by both parents if the child is taken outside the country.
