Hi,
I got NMO.How can I contact wife?? I want to pay for children but I need her bank account details.I do not know her solicitor-if she has one.Even if I knew solicitor will he be our intermediary for weeks or months??? I would also like to ask her for contact with children.HOW?? I am scared to breach NMO .Send her a cheque? She might take a cheque and then put an abusive letter into the envelope and call police.Any ideas, dads??
Hi there
It depends what is stipulated in the NMO, sometimes contact is allowed in relation to arrangements for children so check the order.
If you want to pay Child support you can open a case with the CMS yourself and they will contact your ex on your behalf, as I doubt a solicitor would want to be one involved in this side of things.
Having an NMO doesn't prevent you from getting proper contact with your children, but it does make it more difficult. Usually mediation is the first step before an application to court can be made, but the NMO cancels that out. You can apply to the court for a Child Arrangements Order but you would have to make them aware that there is a NMO in place. There are dads that have been granted contact even with an NMO...it might have to be at a Contact Centre to begin with though.
I've deleted your duplicate post, it can be confusing for other members if replies are made to both threads, much better to keep all replies in one post.
