You can put it in to the court where you live, but if she wishes she can apply to have it transferred and the court would almost certainly agree
Doing that would create more delay, whilst the case is transferred over. I would just apply directly to the court where they live.
Asking for an interim order on the application form is what you should do, the court should then allow for it to be discussed,
Hi thankyou for the advice. I have been told I should make a formal request to my ex for contact to be reinstated I have done this via a message but been told to put it in writing and send it registered post and keep a copy. Is this advisable or should I just not contact her and attend mediation etc?
Thanks in advance Steve
As the mediation process has already started, I personally don't see any reason to communicate with her in this way, particularly as she has stated quite firmly that contact will not be reinstated.
However...
I'd be interested to know who has advised you in this course of action... if it was your social worker or a professional that is actively involved in your case, I would probably say go with it, just keep it civil, brief and to the point.
Hi it was the social worker involved who has been to see me again regarding his visit to her to give her the outcome of his assessment. Which was he and the police believed my daughter had been shall we say encouraged to say certain things and the allegations were completely unfounded and told her withholding contact was totally unecessary and damaging to my daughter she implied contact was ok without my partner being there which I instantly agreed to. To which she gave a reply stating I had hurt my daughter which the social worker agreed was ludicrous because at the time she was asked if she had ever had any concerns which she replied no never. How can I compromise with this kind of behaviour I am bending over backwards to do this to no avail. What good can she possibly do carrying on with these constant untruths? I am trying to keep a lid on things but it's difficult to say the least no one seems to care despite her constantly being found to be lieing how do I deal with this at mediation which I am sure she is refusing
Thanks Steve
