I have a 2 year old and I have sent him a ltter with times to see her and he turns up late or not at all. So I want to know what hours a court would award him.

There's no way of knowing - if he is capable of caring for a 2 year old he could get overnight visits. If he is not he could get daytime visits.

Why not go to Court and get an Order specifically setting out the visitation hours?

Have you filed for child support?

Yes I have got it, as he is unemployed I get £5 a week. I don't really want to go to court as it would cause a whole lot of grief and I didn't want to put her through that. I just wanted to tell him what the court would award to either match the hours

Are you in the UK?

It appears that OP has what amounts to full custody, with reasonable (in the discretion of the OP mother) visitation to the father. And it further appears that the father is not objecting to this arrangement, in fact is not even fully taking what is given him.

You can't force your chld's father to enjoy the visitation you have offered him.

No need to fix what (from your present legal perspective) what isn't broken. Or, to use a different metaphor, OP is now driving the car safely; why let the father drive? I see no need to go to court.

If the problem is that his turning up late interferes with your schedule, send him a letter stating that, if he turns up more than so many minutes late, without a reasonable excuse (and maybe a call to tell you that he is running late), that particular visitation will possibly be cancelled.

First, please don't use the comments feature to post a follow-up question. Use the Answer This Question options instead.

Second, as noted, there is no way of telling what a court will award in terms of visitation. Each situation is different. It depends on factors, like the age of the child, distance between parents, school issues and more.

If there is no specific schedule, then you can set your own. Tell him you do not want to keep his daughter from him, but you will not disrupt her life with a haphazard schedule. Explain to him that you are willing to work with him and plan out a schedule in advance. But if he will not adhere to it, then you will have to cut back.
