The court last December issued a contact order last December granting my daughters father overnight access as of last weekend. He used to always bring my four year daughter home at 3.30 every Monday. As of last Monday the new time is 4.00. Three weeks ago she started swimming lessons at 4.00 on Monday which My daughters father was fully aware of it is an eleven week course. Now the knew drop off time is 4.00 he is refusing to drop her at 3.45 at the swimming pool only ot 4.00, which means by the time she has got changed she will have missed half her lesson. I have said he can collect her fifteen minuets earlier in the morning to make up for the lost time or extra time on a date to be agreed but he has refused. I understand I can go back to the court and apply for a variation in the contact order, but this is going to take another three weeks. Is there anything I can do in the meantime so my daughter does not have to miss out on half her lesson. I have already paid for the course in full and there is no other time the course is available.

dont let the prick pick her up, then when it goes back to court tell them he was being unreasonable.
you should ask your daughter if she want's to go swimming, if she does then what sorf of father would stop her you need to tell him that she wants to go and you are not doing this to be a pane.

(and if he still says no then kill him)
( thats a joke dont kill him)
well why did you make the swimming lessons for that time then?
I'm with Bednobs on this one.

If you knew in December that the drop off time by the father was 4.00, why on earth did you book swimming lessons knowing that your child needs to be there at 3.45 in order to get ready for the lesson?

I do agree that the father sounds like he is being a bit awkward and I think he should be a little more flexible, but the times were agreed in court, and the father has every right to stick to them.

To not let the father pick up the child at all, as stupidly suggested by littlemissxx, is both unfair on the child and father, and would be in breach of a court order.
