What rights do I have as a mother now that they are with their father?

Questioner

We are getting divorced and have children. My future ex has deregistered from the joint residential address. Tomorrow the children will come to me again. Nothing has been arranged yet but in the 2x days that I had the children I kept my ex informed by app contact and photos and video calling with the children. I have not heard anything all day now. My ex wants peace and I think that is fine but I have always been with my children and I do not receive photos, messages, nothing. What are my rights?

Visitation arrangements are intended to ensure that the child can maintain a good relationship with both parents. However, this does not mean that the parents must communicate with each other continuously about the times that the child is with the other parent, as long as the child is safe and healthy. There are no specific legal provisions that indicate what information the other parent is entitled to during a visitation arrangement. However, parents are expected to inform each other about important matters concerning the child. This includes medical information, school matters and any other important developments that the other parent should know about. It is important to know that mutual respect, honesty and transparency between parents is in the best interest of the child. If there is any uncertainty about what exactly needs to be shared, it can be useful to make agreements about this. Drawing up a parenting plan, possibly with the help of a mediator, can be a good way to do this and to prevent possible conflicts in the future. This information is intended to provide some orientation.
