Hi,
I have a Non Molestation Order.Can I call my children ? Will it be a breach of the Order?
It depends what the non mol states, is there a clause that allows you to make contact about the children? Are you able to contact the children without going through heir mother? If not then you are on thin ice. You can give the police a call and ask for their advice on this.
In that case she could report you for "pestering" and depending on how the police view it you could see yourself back in court for breach.
Give the police a call and discuss your options as far as they are concerned.
I'm assuming that you don't have a Child Arrangements Order for contact in place, your first step would be to make an application to the court, mediation is usually the first step but because of the NMO this wouldn't be appropriate.
The only other thing you could do is to get a neutral third party (that she is happy to talk to) to ask about contact....either that or instruct a solicitor to write to her requesting contact.
It's not going to be easy to be honest, but other Dads have managed to get contact with an injunction found against them, it depends on the circumstance and to a greater degree on how the judge will see it.
Best of luck
