Hi there,
The demands the mother is making are unreasonable and there are things you can do. If communication has broken down, you could try Mediation...have a look at their website ~

Sometimes this is all that is needed to get things back on track and for contact to be agreed upon. However if this fails, you can apply to the family courts for a Contact Order which will set out days and times of contact which both parents will be expected to adhere to. Going to court is always a last resort and it is best to try and reach agreement first. Good luck.
