    Hi all. Looking for advice on a good schedule for seeing my kids. Really don't get on with the x. This one day a week every second weekend thing isn't too cool with me. Any advice on a schedule that works best

    Everyone's schedule is different. If you want to change it you need to either go to mediation(probably not going to work if you don't get on) or go to court and apply for more access.

    For parents
    Where parents are not living together it may be possible to come to an informal arrangement whereby the non-resident parent may have access to his/her child on a regular basis without having to go to Court. If parents are having difficulty in making arrangements regarding access they could consider Mediation or Collaborative Law (see below). If the parents cannot reach an agreement informally, the non-resident parent may apply to the local District Court for an Access Order. The court may set the time, place and duration of access. As with all cases involving children, any decision made by the court will be made in the best interests of the child and the court will consider the views of the child where possible given his/her age and understanding. A non-resident parent is usually granted access. Access can also be applied for where a child is in the care of TUSLA, the Child and Family Agency.
    Before making an applications for access, court Form No. 58.49 must be completed. This form is a 'Statement of Arrangements for Child'. Download here http://www.treoir.ie/cms-assets/documents/235262-54669.form-no.-58.49.pdf

    I think the norm is every second weekend and one day mid week...

    Yes, I agree that seems to be the norm among most I have met. Really depends on how close you live to your ex, how close you live to kids schools etc....Mediation is ideal if you can do it, but if not, have a think about what you want and start compromising with him / her
