[Solved] Visitation

Hi there

If the mother won't communicate with you directly, you could try inviting her to mediation - attempting this process is mandatory prior to starting legal proceedings. I think at this stage sending a solicitor's letter might just ignite things but inviting to mediation might be a good first step.

Hi
Thanks for advise, it’s just a difficult situation as my ex just thinks I take Work more importantly than my daughter. I was in this trade when we met and when daughter was born. I’m just worried if it does go to court that they would make it difficult for me to work. I admit I love my job and I’m good at it. But I have always put my daughter first. I have mentioned a mediation firstly before anything else and that’s when she completely blocked me, I can’t even phone as she won’t pick up.

Courts don't expect parents to change their careers in order for their child to spend time with them. Orders are usually worked around schedules if the court can't get parents to agree to a suitable solution. If she won't attend mediation (and you will have to let the mediation service invite her to attend for them to sign off the court forms) then perhaps a letter from your solicitor informing her that if mediation isn't attended or used to reach a satisfactory conclusion that you will not hesitate to begin court proceedings might do the trick.

Good advice there, be careful about calling or texting if she's ignoring your calls, she could quite easily accuse you of harassment and get an injunction out on you and that would make any court action that much more difficult. Hopefully you can resolve this issue through mediation.

Best of luck
