Hi all,
I was hoping you could provide some insight into how I could go about increasing my parenting time with my kids (9 and 8).
Refresher into my situation:
Separated Oct 2019, but lived in the same house until May 2021 (combination of COVID and not wanting to give up on the marriage).
When I moved out, my ex and I informally agreed to my having parenting time every other weekend (Friday aft to Monday morning). Again, informally we added me having dinners with the kids every Wednesday at some point along the way.
I've filed my Form 8 application with the courts, waiting for my ex's response.
I would like to get to 50:50 time, or at least something close to that. Initially I didn't want to "bite off more than I could chew"...but after 6 months I am more confident in my parenting abilities, and my kids have mentioned multiple times that they would like to spend more time with me.
Ex does not want to adjust the schedule, even though we have no written documentation on it.
How do I go about increasing my parenting time?
Thanks!
