Hi, just joined
Just curious if anyone has experience of the mediation process and the court process in relation to contact orders.
My ex is under the belief that the children are soley hers. A belief I do not intend her to keep, shes stopped all contact since the end of may now. I'm still in disbelief people can act like this with children but regardless,we have both attended a miam and the mediator believes a resolution can be reached between us.
yeah so just curious if anyone has experiences, I love my children dearly but my ex is bitter and just cant get past her anger
hi and welcome
I'm afraid yours is an all to familiar story on here. You will need to have tried mediation before you can apply to court, so that's the place to start anyway - take a look at www.nfm.org.uk and feel free to ask any further questions, there's a lot of dads on here with experience of the process.
Hi and welcome,
.
Many of us have been through the mediation and then court route, it's a tough process and can be quite duanting especially the court aspect, but court isn't as bad as you would think.
.
Feel free to talk about your concerns and issues and we will try and help you through.

Hi and welcome
Hopefully mediation will help you both to come to agreement that you will both be happy with. Perhaps you could introduce the CAFCASS parenting plan into the discussions, it would be a good way to cover all aspects of co parenting.
Bear in mind that anything agreed in mediation is not legal binding, but it will at least show the mother that you take your parental role seriously and if you can get a parenting plan agreed and signed that will also help you to define your position as a loving father.
Best of luck.
