it's strange how things happen and the ex's in the end start to 'screw up' I am so pleased you have evidence
honestly their will be light at the end - their has to be only thing that keeps us going that one day things will definitely be better
keep strong and see it as a positive
All along I have told the truth to the court, shes the aggresor, shes the one whos hostile but I was faced by counter allegations which cancelled out my concerns, now I finally have some firm evidence and i'm delighted. The last court order stated parents to act respectful towards each other etc, this phone call from her clearly goes against that. It clearly shows that she will continue to be hostile and put obsticles in the way. It also goes a long way to prove that she did phone social services about my elder children as well as all the other stuff that has been done to discredit me in these proceedings. She phoned up basically kicking off about my partner being pregnant, how she knows I don't know and how it is any of her buisness I dont know. All I know is i'm not waiting until december to be faced with more delays when come December I should be having contact with my child. Since the laat court hearing I have been sending small gifts etc. This phone call shows that the stuff is most likely ending up straight in the bin and never reaching my child. This is extremely complicated but its clear to see that as she has denied any contact for over two years, harassed me in numourous ways, lied about me and continues to be hostile towards me it shows the only way I am going to have contact with my son is if he lives with me and I will make him available for contact with his mum, but knowing how this court works I dont have a clue what way this would go. I have spoken to my solicitor and they are sending a letter to my ex solicitor asking her to not contact me again in the hope of getting a denial from them and then we can prove that she did contact me and that she is a liar.
Re S (Contact: Grandparents) [1996] 1 FLR 158, CA
This case is noted on two points: (1) as a reminder of how positions can become entrenched if family proceedings are not firmly handled from the outset: and (2) as a reminder that the court should not accede to the implacable opposition of a parent to contact where other factors indicate that contact would be in the child's interests. The daughter when seven years old had made allegations indecent assault against the father. Prior to this the father and paternal grandparents had had regular contact. For the following two and a half years the grandparents struggled to get contact to their granddaughter, culminating in a decision not to order contact. The mother's hostility and the judge's confidence that in time she would change her mind were factors. The CA found that they did not outweigh the judges finding that three was a real risk that the child would suffer significant harm if contact was not re-established
