[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a practical standpoint, if she lives in the UK, how often do you think it is even possible that she will be taking care of your kids.

I wouldn't add anything in for those rare occasions. [/quote]

DH has added it into the parenting plan he presented prior to our formal mediation session, so I think both he and his attorney see this as perfectly practical. He is very well-compensated and drowning in frequent flier miles so she could easily fly business class in perpetuity.[/quote]

NP - even so, the reality and logistics of his mother rearranging her childcare duties in the UK and getting on a plane just to pick up more childcare duties after a six hour flight while she is jetlagged - and in time before HE leaves on his business trip is unlikely to happen frequently, if at all.

The only right of refusal I might get in place here is that he doesn't get to leave town, leave child with you, and fly his mom in the next day or the like, to take over. Either MIL is present before he leaves or child stays with you. But if that's going to ratchet up the conflict in the divorce I would probably let that slide because I don't think MIL is going to as eager to drop everything and fly here as her son thinks she is.[/quote]
