key child for that week as she works full time and will not be able to take or collect him from school as I do. I can not see how this will benefit our son, can I say no to the week but discuss maybe an evening mid week where he returns home during school times. A. Hi there It is nice to hear that she wishes to spend more time with your son. If he enjoys contact and wants to go midweek, perhaps there is a way in which you can approach your ex to discuss your concerns about the school run and him being a 'latch key kid' to use your words. It is always advisable to try and keep the communication between you and your ex as easy as possible. Try dealing with issues in a non confrontational way and discuss concerns with suggested alternatives rather than ultimatums. I hope that you can reach an agreement that suits you both but importantly one that leaves your son benefitting from a great relationship with both of his parents. Sometimes, being in mom or dad's home environment is as comforting as being with them. Best Regards Harjit Sarang, Partner and Head of Family Law BEST Solicitors LLP Q.
