she has been doing the bringing and collecting more recently, as they are, at the moment, living just a couple of streets away. or my son gets them, but she seems not want him to go to the house. when they move, it will be a different story. he is worrying himself silly that she will cut the access down to one weekend a month, because of the distance. didnt know he could take a fresh look at what he pays, because of the new arrangements and the distance involved.

Remember he is paying for the child, so whatever it is reduced by will be a reduction in what his child gets.

Why is she the one to do all the running around when it's only a couple of streets away ? He's an adult but it seems she does the dropping off and picking up and you get advice for him........ perhaps he needs to be a bit more proactive in his parenting -There's more to it than playing with a child and paying child support.

That's a bit simplistic - if the parent with residence insists on it being that way (control reasons, whatever) the other person can't really just turn up on the doorstep unless they want to risk being accused of harrassment. A relative's ex refused to tell him where she and the children were living for months and insisted on dropping them at his house and collecting them from there - and before anyone says it, no there wasn't any domestic violence or similar reasons.

can son go for full time care? Sounds like it may be a better environment for the child.
