My situation is as follows
We attended court when my daughter was 7 months of age. Basicaly the Judge said was this, due to breast feeding contact could only occur a few times a week. He ignored the fact of breast pump etc. Also, as he put it, its important that the child continue to be breastfeed for bonding etc. If this was the case, then every bottle feed infant would not bond with their parents. However, A consent order entailed. A review of the order when my daughter was 1 year old. On review, she claimed she was still breastfeeding. 10 days later the case was dismissed by the registar by mistake. It was during this dismissal, my daughters mother told me that she was no longer breastfeeding. I got the case reinstated, and when she found out about this she withheld my daughter for 40 minutes and had her mother come outside and claim that she was breastfeeding, hence the reason for the delay. My daughter is now 19 months, and I see her for 3 hrs a week. I get no time for holidays. There is no order for custody or support for that matter. I do pay support voluntarily tabled amount. I feel the time is inadequate but at the same time if we go to court again, I suspect she will claim breastfeeding to limit the relationship. Why doesn't she have to provide proof. How long will the courts support breastfeeding. Can this go on forever. Any help, ideas is appreciated
Thanks
