50/50 parenting Divorce agreement for D8 and D12
Written agreement that right of first refusal be given to the other parent if we are not able to care for daughters during our scheduled parenting time (work being the most obvious). Only exception to this is when said parent provides a weeks notice that the children will be cared for by a third party who is a family member, or known to the children and with whom the children are comfortable etc etc.
We have happened upon a single day for my daughters to spend a 'spa day' with my significant-other on one of our days together when I am working and she is not (girlfriend of more than five years and living together for two). My daughters are very much excited about the day and are planning the itinerary with my girlfriend.
In the end, my ex, regardless of who is with the girls, refuses to recognize that part of the agreement, and insists that, as their mother, she should always have the right of first refusal. The fact that she doesn't necessarily respect my girlfriend (or anyone else other than herself really.....ok, that was a little snide), doesn't help.
The clause in question is not part of our divorce order, but one set out in a mediated agreement.
What courses of action would be appropriate if my ex threatens to, or does attempt to pick up the children during that time?
No, she has no articulable cause for concern for our daughter's safety with my partner.
I have thoughts about what might be done, but your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
