Hi there I have seen previous posts about having to do mediation even when the ex is unreasonable before you can go to court but what if you don't know where they live? My ex vanished with my 2 kids while I was at work last year, up until recently she would answer texts and calls by ranting and raving and accusing me of all sorts of thing that are untrue (and can be proved as untrue!) the CSA got involved as she wanted more money even though I was paying, and paying her debts-but I understand all that is a separate issue. She just refuses to allow me to see the kids, and I want to sort it and see them. If I save up and pay the court will they insist on mediation? I don't know where she lives so can't write to her to request mediation, not got a clue where to start. She was advised badly by a dodgy person and I think she maybe in some sort of refuge, I think she thinks that if she does this the she will get a council house-somehow she has managed to get residency here...yes she has used me I am sure to get here, have kids and get a home...well I'm over her but I want to see my kids. Please advise me on where to start when I haven't got her address....thanks so much!
Hi there
you can make an application through the court using a C4 Form to locate where your children are.
A court is unlikely to order mediation when a case isn't suitable.
