Hi
Would she be prepared to go to mediation? It's worth having a word with a mediator (google national family mediation service) so they can invite her along - if she refuses, at least you've tried and the courts usually expect this to have been tried first. It can cost quite a bit.
Otherwise, you may be looking at applying for a contact order. Have a look at yoji's guide to representing yourself at the top of the legal eagle section, as this will tell you what the process involves.
