Is there no time limit on this restraining order Kenny? There usually is. I would suggest you talk to your lawyer about your options here, if you go back to court to get contact progressed this could be something you could ask to be considered.
That's so harsh! I would certainly look into A possible amendment to address some form of communication where the kids are concerned,

Hey Kenny,
Hope you're well. Patience is key and I gotta tell you, when you get out of that contact centre environment you will love the moments with yours kids even more.
Within the contact centre do you have any notes being made? Like Session recordings. When is your next court date. You can use the contact centre for mutual handovers but that will get expensive quick.
When you have your next court hearing, submit these session recordings, along with a statement to say you will be civil etc. Best point to make would be to find a spot like a public carpark before your next hearing where it's easy for you both to do handovers
If for example right now you are spending 2 hours a fortnight within a contact centre, then progression is key, you would expect after the next hearing for the contact then to go to 4-6 hours outside of the contact centre (use their car park....not their handover service). Then eventually the Friday to Sunday contact fortnightly.
Hope the above gives you the motivation to stick through this in court. I've known people to change overnight and also people who take a lifetime to change... All I know is our kids are worth the fight. And this fight is for the long run,
