Joint custody is difficult when your ex spouse lives abroad!
How long should my son stay with his mother on holiday? He lives with me in Finland, is just starting pre-school, his language is finnish and english, his mother lives abroad, he has just spent 4 weeks with his mother now i have a problem because she has brainwashed and spoiled him while with her by giving him money and buying him toys everyday now he expects me and my new wife to do the same, but we do not agree with this so he gets upset when we will not give to him, so she has created a problem now that we must try to undo!
Of course his mother has the right to see him and he her, but for how long each time? When he comes home he is very upset because of the brainwashing! She even gave him a mobile phone, he's only 6 years!
So difficult situation, also who pays the expenses for the travel to see his mother? Anyone in the same situation?

Hello
This sounds like a sad sorry and of a mother trying to make up to her son the time that she cannot spend with him , when he is with you and as for the telephone , don't all six year olds have them in Finland??? Maybe she wants to make sure she can stay in contact with him when she wants a quick chat without having to phone you first to get though to him.
The only thing I can think that you can do is to take to your ex-wife and explain to her the problems that you are having with your son when he returns to you, I am sure she does not want him to turn out to think he can always get what he wants.
As for the brainwashing, again you will have to bring this up with your ex, because a six year old belives everything that they are told.
Hope all works out well and take to her
