So i've applied for the courts to enfoece the order....the judge at the last few has said i can do this as the ex is not sticking to his orders....so i've finally found the cash and sent the appliction in.
i'm 99.9% certain the judge will grant the enforcement order due to the events by the ex to continually block and break any contacts that have been ordered.
so my question is: What happens when she breaks that order? by this what i mean is, when she breaks it (and i've no doubt after her comments on saturday that she will!!!) what do i have to do? do i sipmly phone the police and have her arrested for breach of the enforcement order? or is it contact the courts for them to order her back and then slap her wrist and say don't do it again?
or do i have to go find a Batman costume and tie myself to the MP's railings with a picture of my son?
hi there
I've got a suspicion that its back to court for enforcement....its a joke really isnt it because if the enforcement order had "teeth" then the situation for many Dads and their kids wouldn't get to breaking point....In fact I would go as far as to say it should be written into the initial contact order automatically. But hey what do we know! π‘
I'd don't understand why courts don't make an example out of repeat offenders. If they were to award a custodial sentence and then suspend it, so that it hung over the guilty parent's head for a couple of years, maybe that would give them pause for thought?
Can i just say..........If i were to repeatedly go against court orders do you think they'd go as easy on me??
i think we all know the answer to that would be Not a chance!!! i'd be fined, and or given the penalties they speak of but won't hand her!
...We'll see, my son has just breached the contact order and is denying any contact until he can organise supervised contact at a centre, for very good reasons I might add! He has written to her solicitor, outlining the reasons, but I just know there will be demands for reinstatement of contact, or threats of a return to court for enforcement...she didn't turn up for mediation last week!
Hi Dad-i-d, Iagree, its like mothers can get a way with all sorts but when a father does it, its like a crime against the world, were classed as nothing in the eyes of the law so our ex's and some times children do the same. Like I keep saying it may be a waste of time but we all need to make a pieacefull stand like a petition, get media coverage find a star who understands we just want to be treated fairly not special like mothers! even though they are but so are dads!!!!!
I agree I believe it will be court you need to go to and they they will deal with her, but best to ask the experts, im not good luck π
