Unfortunately i have had very similar happen to me.
I was advised to apply to vary the order and at the hearing ask for a Family assistance order to have CAFCASS or someone to assist the children to respond to the indirect contact - letters / messages / phone calls / skype calls etc...
Variation to order is applying using Form C100, which means you'll be asked to have attended a MAIM (Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting) to see if there is any way to avoid court before the court accept your application.
despite multiple breaches in my case history i've not managed to find a way past that yet, however have asked that when the eventual outcome of my case is decided that the need to MAIM to be removed from any possible future hearings as it hasn't been sucessful in the 8yrs and i think 4 MAIM's i had to attend to get applications in to court!
it's another cost i couldn't afford but could get out of if i wanted to fight on seeing my child
would really appreciate it if you could move my thread. Thanks again..
Done
hi every one
i have sent an email to my ex to attend the mediation but till now got no responce
as i said the children arent responding of my letters if she doesnt answer then what shall i do and what are my options.
help me please
Keep evidence of your letters and email, your only option is to go back to court im afraid and enforece the order. I would even go to the lengths of requesting supervised contct and have the judge to put a penal notice in the order. You have not indicated how many kids or how old. Must be very hard or confusing time for them too, have hope and keep positive and pateint it will work out in the end.
