hi,

alot of it depends on how your ex is. is she civil when you contact her about your child? what kind of arrangement do you have, how often are you seeing your child? i find that co-parenting with the ex is very challenging, as mine is very toxic and just tries to make my life difficult.

Hello!

Firstly, the fact that you are very much present in your daughters life and you and your ex-partner have discussed and agreed on co-parenting your daughter, will go a long way in ensuring that a relationship with your daughter is maintained.
You have also already mentioned about keeping a civil relationship with your ex-partner, which again shows your understanding of this being a factor in maintaining good relations with your daughter.
The key will always be communication. To keep those channels open whilst trying to be understanding of each others circumstances will hopefully ensure that compromises can be reached so that you are both having quality time with your daughter. You can't go far wrong by staying true to yourself and leading by example. As your daughter gets older she will see for herself the effort that you make, how you are treating others and regularly having conversations with her about treating others how you would like to be treated will go a long way in teaching her valuable life lessons.

Try not to think too far ahead at the moment (easier said than done I know!) Your daughter is very young and just being with her regularly at the moment will build and secure your bond.

All the best

The main thing is to try to be with your daughter as often as possible, so that she feels that she has both parents.

Hi
I am desperately seeking help regarding my ex partner and our child we have together. We have been separated for over a year. Our child is still very young. We have a court order in place. My ex partner has been breached the court order on a numerous of occasions. It just feels relentless. The family courts procedure costed myself a small fortune. I can not afford to take her back to court. Can you help or advise me in anyway?
Thank you in advanced

Unfortunately, the only option you have is to go back to the courts for enforcement. You can represent yourself, so the only cost is the application fee (£215). There is no other way to enforce a court order. Is she preventing you from having any access at all?

As actd says, you'll have to go back to court. Depending on your income, you may not have to pay all the court fee. Go to the .gov website and complete the form, EX160. If you are eligible for reduced fees, you will be given a reference number to put on the application form to enforce access.
