    It is foolish to make arrangements for custody and/or visitation outside of a Court Order. I just posted an experience I have had with a similar situation - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/family...ng-601764.html

    The Court will not presume that the child knows what is best for him.

    Go to Court and have a Judge make a determination.

    When you go to court (and, as JudyKayTee suggests, it is important to do that ASAP), it won't look good if you changed schools in mid-term (if that's what you did). But it's "water under the bridge" (i.e.: a fait accompli) now, I suppose.

    By your use of the term "mum", am I correct in assuming you are in the UK?
