advice greatly recived ,by this upset father
You mention a solicitor. Was that your solicitor? What advice have they given you on appealing this? What were you hoping for?
Hi
I'm afraid you can't appeal because you aren't happy with the decision - and in any event, it would be unlikely to achieve anything. You can apply for a variation in the court order to extend contact, but you need to let the existing order run for a while to have a chance at getting contact increased.
