Hi There,
If you have a court order in place that says you should have contact, then you should go back down the court route, as she is breaking the order, you would be looking at an enforcement hearing.
I don't think the SS would be able to do anything unless the children were being placed at harm being with your ex.

Hi there
If you decide to go back to court, you will need to apply to the family court near to where your ex lives. However, if the application is to enforce an existing order, you don't need to attempt mediation first.
I'm sorry you are struggling with the court process, I know you've had a hard journey.
All the best
You say you now live in a different town 100 miles away, did you move since the last order was made ?
If that’s the case, rather than seeing the order enforced, you’re more likely to see the order being varied to take into account the new circumstances.
hi
i think its some misunderstanding .i have an indirect contact every month.she didnt breach it but as i said the children arent responding .my question is shall i start from begning or shall i apply to court if i could see my children to build up a relationship .i dont want to go to court when they say no go and try mediation ist.please help
