Hi all wishing you Happy new year.
currently i have a court order in place to see my 2 year old little girl to see every Saturday for 4 hours in the community, on my last visit my childs nappy leaked and my ex texted me with a picture of leak from her house 30 minutes after the handover and threatened me that she will stop bringing my girl for future visit.
she says she is ready to break the court order and accusing me of not looking after my daughter and says she doesnt feel comfortable leaving my daughter with me.
she constantly accuses me of not looking after my child
i look after my daughter with up most care and love while she is with me and take her for activities/play areas do all what im supposed to do with a 2 year old.
so i want to know can she stop bringing my child for contact with me and break the court order after one nappy leak?
what shall i do if she doesnt turn up this saturday?
also can my ex apply for a variation of contact on basis of nappy leak and negligence as she is claiming?
also can she apply for variation without mediation?
its new year and my daughter will turn 2 this month my ex is doing all this to me so i miss my childs birthday and trying to keep my child away from me.
please help and advise
thank you.
Hi and welcome.
The simple answer is that she can do this if she chooses, but legally she shouldn't, and if she does do so, then you have the right to go back to court to get the order enforced, and I can't see that a court would be too impressed with her argument at all. You need to keep all correspondence, and keep a diary of contact (and write any verbal conversations in this) if you do need to go back to court. However, if possible, see if you can sort it out more amicably to come to some arrangement that you are both happy with, as that would be far more preferable for both of you than going back to court.
Hi There,
.
I agree with ACTD that if you are able to sort this between the two of you then it would be better, but if you have to return to court then I wouldn't think a judge would rule in her favour, not after 1 leaked nappy.
