Hi there
Brief history:
- ex has denied contact of our 8 year old 4 times now, i.e. 4 periods of non-contact, sometimes lasting years.
- until the most recent break (7 weeks ago) I was seeing child every 2 weeks, in total >52 nights overnight access in the last 12 months, that was for a period of over 3 years. Took her abroad 3 times, no issues with contact ever reported back to me, child happy to be with me, etc etc
- No explanation ever given for breaks in contact
- I am also the only conduit for child to see their family. Ex has no family - child has (half) siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc etc all of whom she sees through me
- mother has not responded to solicitors letter, refused mediation (or rather, didn't respond to request)
- I have no convictions, issues with social services etc. Some issues with me and the mother before child was born, but that's obviously years ago.
Making C100 application this weekend. Intend to ask for interim access order.
Given what's been stated above, how "guaranteed" am I to get interim access ?
Would I get it if the mother doesn't attend court ?
Many thanks
