Hi guys! Quick one. I had telephone contact with my children almost daily. Mother said wanted me in kids life coincidentally before court application came to her knowledge. She then text saying there will be no form of contact with kids until court order sorted.
i miss my kids dearly. Is it worth attempting to contact my kids (separate mobile number for kids to my Ex) or will the courts use this against me?
Thankyou for your help in advance 🙂
hi,
am very sorry to hear that. how old are the kids? document and keep a record of her messages stating there is to be no contact. you can present it to court. you could try contacting your kids direct if there is nothing legally stopping you.
can you give a brief background to your situation and what let to applying to court?
@bill337 hi! three under 8 and one teenager .Went to court as she stated get a court order to see children. children have mentioned to me on phone they want to stay with me and spend time. however she is a well known liar in community and uses her charm to play victim. during safeguarding call I did not bad mouth mother either but can see her making allegations for free legal aid. Can see cafcass falling for her tbh as I also used to believe her until the end of the 9 year relationship where she showed exactly what she was like and all her lies came to the surface
children stayed overnight with me afew times after seperation
@bill337 overnight stays and consistent telephone conversations
Overnight weekend stays*
@dadmatter sounds good. would be good idea to ask that all school holidays be shared equally. it's better to request all of it to secure it. then in future if you can not commit to some, you can just let your ex know your not available.
