I had my court hearing today and the judge granted the order that I see my daughter in a contact centre. I also asked that it be ordered that my ex wife have a residency order so that my daughter can feel more secure and know that I have no intention of snatching her like she thinks. My ex has agreed to everything, she didn't even argue about me seeing my daughter! However I get the feeling she is playing the game so to speak. I think that once a date is set for me to see my daughter they will not turn up and the reason wil be that my daughter doesn't want to go. I want to be positive but as I know how vindictive my ex wife can be and how sneaky I think this is all her ploy to come across like it isn't her who is influencing my aughter. What is the next step if they do not turn up to the contact sessions? I know I am jumping the gun a little but after everything that my ex wife has done I am not expecting this to all be plain sailing. Has anybody has the same with their ex and them acting like they had no involvement in their childs decision when it came to contact?
at least you got what you asked for - it means that anything she does to prevent contact won't please the court but it's still a pain if she doesn't abide by it.
from my understanding there has to be a warning attached to any order made by the court, detailing what will happen if they dont turn up as agreed. Have you checked the order
Yeah there is a warning attached to say what will happen. I am now waiting on the contact centre to contact my solicitor to give a date that the contact can begin. I am hoping it won't take too long to sort. I have noticed that my ex has not said a word about me on facebook like she has done before in the past when finding out the outcome of cafcass. Maybe she has realised that she can't just dictate to me anymore as its now the courts decision. We will see I suppose.
