Unusual one here. Most people disagree of contact arrangements because the non resident wants more contact then the resident is prepared to concede, it's kind of the opposite here.
We have agreed a fairly typical contact pattern. I asked for alternative weekends, and a Wednesday night stay every week. However she is insisting that she will only sign the agreement if I also commit to a fixed holiday contact pattern which results in me having contact an extra 4 or 5 full weeks a year.
The trouble is, it's not practical for me to commit to that mainly because of getting the annual leave from work. I would ideally like around 10-15 additional days in a year during the holidays by agreement. She is a teacher so it's better the children are with her for the majority of the holidays as she will not need to use holiday clubs or childcare options.
If she stands her ground and refuses to go with the term time pattern that we've agreed (in writing), I guess my only option is court? Obviously the courts have no power to impose extra holiday contact on me, so where would that leave the term time 'agreement' we made. Could the courts take one look at our agreement and make an order? Even at best case scenario it's going to take months and £250 in court fees? Whats the worst case and most likely scenario?
