What has the social worker said they are going to do next? I assume they aren't just giving up.
He has given her the opportunity to reconsider which obviously tells me he feels the same about her statement that my daughter doesn't want contact which in itself is quite refreshing.
Well, keep working with them - they are obviously on your side and the more help you can give them, the more they are likely to push her for a result.
Thankyou I have been and he arranged for my ex to drop my daughter at a MacDonalds local to her so I could see her for an hour. Despite the fact she was told to drop her off and then pick her up she followed us inside and sat across from us which I just ignored I was just so happy to see my little girl as she was to see me we had a good chat and after an hour I sent her over to her mum and left.
When I returned home my papers for an FHDRA had arrived on Dec 5th which seems an age away. Thing is my ex has told the social worker she won't attend as she can't ridiculous and just a stalling tactic can she do this doesn't seem right to me anyone any idea?
Thanks Steve
She will have to deal with it at some point, the court case won't just go away! It may get adjourned the first time, but if she continues not to show up they may will go ahead without her.
Have a word with the social worker and ask if he could talk to her about the importance of attending and what could happen if she didn't, that they would go ahead and decide things, even if she wasn't there.
All the best
