Hey,
Just after some advice again even though I think I'm pretty clued up.
Split with my wife last May. Since then she has been nothing short of a nightmare. Stops access for no reason. I am in a new relationship and have been since July last year. She doesn't like this at all.
Doesn't want my daughter to meet my new partner, so much so she has now stoped the contact saying I do not have my daughters best interest at heart and she now needs to seek legal advice on how to proceed.
I have send 2 solicitors letters and all have been ignored. I am not able to have a decent conversation with her as she refuses and calls me a bad dad. She has found out that me and my new partner have got a dog and now claims our daughter has a dog allergy and has said she is never going to be able to stay at the house where the dog is. Funny that *rolls eyes*
I know mediation is next and after that court. Any one been in this situation before? Even if I am allowed to see my daughter (it's been a month) I still want to have mediation and feel court is the only way to ever get some sort of decent plan set up which we can stick too.
She is very bitter and has a massive issue with my new partner which I do understand however there is no need to use our daughter as a weapon and cause her so much upset.
hi,
as she is being unreasonable, I think you should look at going for mediation. if that fails then you can take it to court and get a decent arrangement in place.
The best bet is mediation, if she refuses this then you will have to take it to court. I would do this as soon as possible as it sounds like she will not be letting you see your daughter anytime soon. try not to raise to any bait and keep things civil. Be prepared for the possibility of accusations being thrown your way, if she is taking legal advice, some solicitors like to try and stir it up a bit. Hopefully she doesnt, but if courts/cafcass get involved and she says she stopped contact because you have a new partner, that won't really stick with them.
Get a top lawyer they have a presence in the courts. Sincerely hope it all works out mate
