[Solved] Help - Accidentally broke non molestation order

But it was a genuine mistake - and the second was stating it was an accident, to delete the email and that I was clear on the rules of the order and it wouldn’t happen again.

Surely there has to be some reason or common sense here ? I called the police myself immediately and told them ... I wouldn’t do that if I had intentionally done it !?!

As Justdad says, if you have similar emails over a period of time to show a pattern of how you dealt with your feelings by emailing yourself, there's a possibility that it could be overlooked. As for common sense, I'm afraid there seems to be little of that in the family justice system. In the real world, sending texts and emails to the wrong person probably happens quite a lot, but then most people don't have NMO's against them.

If there aren't any similar emails, just explaining that your emotions got the better of you might help.

There are for. Couple of weeks before and a couple of days after - at which point I have knocked it on the head to that email account for fear of doing it again!

Will see what happens.

Strangely - today she sent me a video of our daughter walking for the first time directly !? I didn’t reply - was very surprised though considering!?

Well done for not replying to the video. Many many women will contact the ex when there is a non-mol in place purely to illicit a breach.

This is advised to them by solicitors - the very solicitors who advised them to go for the non-mol in the first place - so they could secure legal aid and milk the system.

You may think I'm cynical. I'm not, I'm experienced - I wish I wasn't. The whole thing is a horror story - every case, every time.

I think any emails after the one you sent to your ex would be ignored as they could be seen as fabricating a justification for your actions. You have to look at things the way a court would look at them.
