This site does not give legal advice, and you need to ensure that you are not seeking legal advice while you have legal representation. I cannot give you legal advice in these circumstances. The issue is whether the status quo will factor into the final outcome in respect of the custody and access issues. If you think that the current status quo is not in the child's best interests then you need to take steps by way of obtaining a court order or parenting agreement. You would be asking to change the current status quo. It is definitely not healthy for the child to go prolonged periods of time without contact with the other parent. If such concerns had any bit of credence, then at a bare minimum you would be exercising supervised access.
