I just can't seem to get anywhere at all
Hi strugglingdad and welcome on here.
Can you give us an idea what you are struggling with? There are plenty of dads (and some mums, grandparents etc) on here who have been through a lot so we may be able to help you on the forum, and you'll hopefully get a few people helping that way, and chances are someone will know what you are going through.
Be as open as you want on here. Ask as many questions as you need, everyone on here has been through a different case so there is plenty of advice to take. Feel free to direct message if you prefer?
Welcome to the club
Stugglingdad has posted in a recent thread. Hasn't seen children since lockdown after mutually agreeing not to . interim court order in place , final hearing pending. Frustrated now as would like contact reinstated but ex partner been hostile phoning police and refusing access and even video calls.
very frustrated as all shops open virtually and lockdown restrictions have been relaxed a lot more since march 23rd
I've got exactly the same issue StrugglingDad38.
I keep getting contrasting views on it. It seems v difficult as everything is a moving feast and nothing has seemingly been tested in court yet

Ah, didn't realise that it was the same member (saw the post count of 1), my mistake.
