Hi im very new to all of this.. Me and my ex seperated around 3 months ago and things are far too broken down to come to a mutual contact agreement. She keeps changing her mind to as a when i can see them and its starting to make my life really hard. Im looking for help / advice on where to start with court proceedings? I really have no idea where to start with any of this. Thanks hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Scott
Hi Scott and welcome
Before you consider court, I would give the National Family Mediation a ring on 0300 4000 636, as it's possible that a mediated solution could still work and is preferable to going to court if at all possible.
However, I would still suggest that you read yoji's guides to representing yourself at the top of the Legal section, as these will give you a good idea of the processes if you do need to go to court.
If you have any particular questions, please post back and we'll give as much advice as possible.
Actd is right mediation could be the better option.
Just make sure that if an agreement is met in mediation you have it written into a legally binding agreement or either one of you could decide it's not working out for you and go against the agreement without any come back
