Hi guys. Urgent advice needed. Had posted earlier this week about NMO and occupancy order. In court on Monday to respond to allegations. Ex gf says she wont be in court as she is withdrawing statement.
I have not saw kids for 2 weeks. Ex gf has been texting begging me to meet her and kids today. I would love to see kids but am afraid of being in breach of NMO. Ex gf days this is nonsense I can only be arrested if I turn up at house. She also says she would have to report it to police and she would not do this ! She says I am being very unfair by not coming to see her and kids. I have offered to send a family member to collect kids but she wont agree to this. Surely if I met her I could be in breach of NMO? Should I risk it?
Hi
Did you read the response I gave on your previous post? It's not as simple as just withdrawing her statement, serious allegations have been made and it's likely the court will want to look at these... it's impossible to predict with any certainty, you may be lucky.
Without seeing what the NMO stipulates I can only comment generally, and you would likely be in breach from contact with your ex. It's true she would have to report it for it to get acted on, but if you upset her she might just use that as a way of getting back at you.
Only you can make the decision to breach, you must weigh up the risks for yourself, I don't think there's anyone here that would make that decision for you. If you did decide to ignore the order and then got caught, you could try and argue that you were put under a lot of pressure to meet with her to see the kids, you have the texts to back that up. Is a tough one...
All th best
Thanks 4 the advice. Am not going to meet her. She is being nasty now by text because I told her I am unsure about meeting her. She could easily get nasty if I went to meet her. Not worth the risk
I think that's sensible, you've only got a couple of days to wait until court. I would screenshot her texts to meet with you and the ones about withdrawing her complaint, print them off and take them to court with you. Pretty strong evidence in my opinion and would hopefully help your case.
25 years ago i never turned up to a NMO court hearing as young at the time and because i thought it was all bullshit anyway.
Well a few weeks later we bumped into each other and ended up in bed together. Half way threw theres a knock on the door, I go down and answer it to find the police there (saw my car parked outside) , im arrested and taken away even though she was having a go at the police saying she ent finished with me just yet and to leave me alone.
I just told the court what happened and was released, reminded of the order thats in place.
About six mths later (not together mind) she found out i was seeing someone and again was arrested for breaking the order. Even though the woman i was with backed my story up. Again court excepted what i said and released me.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the response. Yea hopefully courts will dismiss this nonsense asap and i can at least see the kids.
All the best at court today.
Hi guys. Just to update you all on whats happened. Went to court today to respond to NMO. Her statement was withdrawn at the last second. NMO and occupancy order now lifted. And that was that. Now have to go through family courts to arrange access and get my house back. Bit happier now. Thanks for all advice received.
Thats great to hear
