I have a court order in place.
Currently every other weekend - daughter wants to increase 50/50 equal care - but finds can’t speak to ex & husband - child 10yrs of age,
Court order broken
How do I go about increasing access?
Do I get the court order enforced or re apply to the court again?
Would you recommend solicitors / barrister or represent myself as very costly?

hi,

if the court order is not being followed and rules broken, then you can complete form c79 for enforcement. then at hearing hopefully you can make changes to court order, for increased time with your child.

i am planning on representing myself at next hearing. that is something you can consider.

Can I find a position statement template to file with the C79 form?
Is there a good cost effective mckenzie friend to help represent me in court - was thinking fathers for justice?

You ll be fine self repping . If you’re going for enforcement there’s no complex legal work to do . You just have to be able to proove the breach has occurred . The family courts are very understanding of people not having representation .

I’m looking to increase every other weekend contact to 50/50 also,
Would a section 7 investigation be granted?
Would I likely get this increase without representation?
