i am a father of two children to two separate mothers i went through the courts in both cases to have contact with one child and joint custody of the second at the time of both cases i was in receipt of a lot of benefit due to me being disabled . since both cases were agreed through the court my financial circumstance have changed and my benefit only cover the cost of living for me and my partner . we are expected to pick up the first child from her mother and return her back which is a round journey of 169 mile round journey every other weekend also we have to feed and clothe her as her mother refuses to supply for the child in spite of receiving her benefits . we are also expected to feed and clothe child two whom resides with us three and a half days a week. i can no longer through no fault of my own keep to the agreed court document and both mothers show no interest when i explain my current situation mother one just says it not good enough and you wont see you kids then . can these matters be taken back to court for renegotiation ? there doesn't seem to be a support network available to fathers and ineed help with these matters so i can continue to see my children .
Hi,
Yes, the simple answer is that you can always go back to court for a variation in the court order. When was the order drawn up - it may be worth looking at asking the CSA to take the case.
Once we have the answer to the above, we can ask our experts at CCLC and CMO to give an opinion
