Family law/ Access

Lovehate1989

I have a six year old child and have been split up from the father for over two years. Things were amicable including arrangements (no guardianship/nothing legal in place etc)for the child up until recently.
Due to me moving back in with my elderly parents and starting a new job that requires me to work weekends and a day or two during the week, the father would take the child Friday evening to Sunday afternoon and his parents would take the child from 2-7 one day of the week.
Due to the fathers new relationship he now wishes to take the child 2 out of every 3 weekends which just doesn't work for me due to work and also the extra strain it would put on my elderly parents who always help me out when required.
I have said no to this arrangement out straight and this morning i received legal documents concerning guardianship and access arrangements. I just want him to take the child Friday-Sunday and of course things will come up where he wont be able to but in general thats the way i need it to be. I don't have any doubt that he will be granted guardianship but i am just wondering if theres anything i can do to fight his access proposal and try to push my case forward?
