I've heard that threats such as - we will be going whatever, so if you don't give permission for your child to go too then we will sort out arrangements for you to have them full time and they can come to me for holidays. You don't have to mean these threats, but usually the absent parent who has little or no contact will reconsider faced with 24/7 responsibility, cost etc., I think they usually say no because they want to be difficult, the other thing is say that you won't want any money from them once they move - always a good incentive!!!!

Hope it all works out for you
