During the last hearing in December the court ordered that while i attend a DVPP course i should receive a photograph of my son on three occasions (Christmas, his birthday Feb 12th and July) wearing the outfit or playing with the toy i have bought him for the corresponding dates. It has now been a month since Christmas and i have not received a photograph of my son. My barrister seems reluctant to answer my emails regarding this. would it be likely that he is waiting till after my sons birthday so, when we go back to court, he can say that she did not promptly send photographs? also would this go against her in court that she has not really made an effort to send me a photograph? These days a photograph could go from her through her barrister to mine and then on to me within a matter of minutes. surely this should show that she is not taking it seriously? Although there is no specific date mentioned in the order only that they should be sent to me.
Why don't you give your barrister a call and ask him to enquire about the photos...do you have a solicitor, sometimes barristers prefer not to deal with the administrative side, that's the solicitors job.
While yes she is in breach of the Court Order the reality is that the Circus will take no action what so ever.
You could always email in to the Court yourself to see what could be done to try and "force" your ex to comply. Be aware that a Contact Order is not legally binding and equally there are no consequences for disregarding what is "ordered".
