Children's act? Questions?
Can one parent (A) not allow there children aged 11,13 and 14 from seeing the other parent (B) if B is no danger to the children. Parent A lives with the children. For example if Parent B had arranged to see the children 2-5pm with consent of parent A and this was verified through solicitors. But the children wanted to see B 12-5pm instead and so did parent B but A did not want this, under the children's act can the children go anyway or does this need to be allowed via solicitors. Is it the children's right to go because they can make the descision? What legal rights do the children have in this situation?

I am not a lawyer; but I am a parent. If the children want to spend more time with the other parent, and the other parent is "no danger to the children", why would you deny this? If all you consider is legal rights, you risk instilling contempt for yourself amongst the children. That may be difficult to change as they get older.
I have a daughter with an ex-wife. I had my daughter for summer vacation and alternating holidays. If my ex ever called and asked to have her when it was not her "legal right" (and this happened a few times), the answer was yes. It was all about my daughter.
Best wishes.
