[Solved] Application to court contact order

That's great news, at least you are finally getting somewhere! I'm sure your daughter will be just fine, just let her take the lead and be prepared to take things slowly.

Hi mojo I have my.first contact session this Saturday with her brother being there sues writing a proposal the main issue is I suggested I pick my child.up school Friday and drop baxk.monday which completely gets rid of the need of us being face to face. Bur through messages she's pretty adamant she wants face to face she keeps saying the past is the past ect but shes caused he'll for 5 years and I keep saying I don't want face to face.

She keeps saying she wants unity for our daughter ect but it's to late to now suddenly be all friendly as in the past she's caused so much problems even with our youngest with court she got involved and tried to.make us loose her!

I've said term time school idea every two weeks and non term time I'll do face to face for our child sake so she can see it but that it all

My main issue is if she doesn't budge and I go to court will they look at the issue that it's not been easy and it's easier for non direct as she's paintin a lovely picture it'll all be good she's grown up ect but I physically couldn't put up with her every week or two weeks I know wed argue in the end.

So if I went court in the end could.i ask for non direct handovers without my ex being there

I am.worried about her being in my life again as we've only just got our life baxk to normal and got our youngest back after court and my ex will stir thinga call ss ect so I'd rather not see her but I want to.see my daughter

Should I go contact with my daughter build it up.regardless and if she doesn't budge then just proceed ect

Thanks moj

As I said on the other post, it's a big deal for your partner and she's been put through the mill, so I can understand her objections. If you are open with the court about the stress involved and your worries for your family, and request that for the time being, that there be no direct contact between you and your ex and once your relationship with your child is ready to be progressed, that you would like to be able to pick her up and return her to school, to avoid contact with her mother.

Suggest that given time, if contact continues smoothly and you can see that there has been a change in the mothers attitude towards you and your partner, there could be some minimal contact between you all, maybe ask for a review hearing in 6 months to discuss moving things forward.

For the moment, don't agree to anything you're uncomfortable with, just try and enjoy getting to know your child again and leave the rest of it for another day.
