hi guys , im new here but have a very important question , we have a contact order between us regarding our daughter i have her for 8 nights per month the ex has my daughter fot the rest , this wes working well until i met a new girl and my ex could not stand this so she has up sticked and moved to scotland in with her parents , i work shifts and now my daughter is attending a scottish school which vertually stops any contact between myself and my daughter , the ex is saying that i can continue contact but i simply cannot get the wkends off all the time and the flt timetable is not good with her new school plus the cost is high , what can i do please !!!!! thanks
Hi mate, well in the first instance its always better to try and avoid getting the courts involved due to money and the time and mess etc. I would suggest doing ALL you can to try and make it work with the ex. Has she said to you that she plans to stay in Scotland? Is it a permanent move. How old is your daughter? What does 'flt' timetable mean?
I hope it works out.
Hi,
You could try Community Legal Advice (0845 345 4345) they may be able to help with options and advice, alternatively as I have suggested on here before do you/she have a PC, you could arrange to "see" and speak on Skype, hope this helps
Skype is a great option as you get to see each other and your ex can hear what you are saying so feels that she has some control.
You could also try writing to your daughter - kids love letters or cards and it will show her that you love her
What does 'flt' timetable mean?
Guessing that is flight timetable.
Do you have a solicitor at present? If not, we can ask the CCLC for advice - since you have a contact order, I'm guessing there is PR and/or a residence order, in which case she should not have moved out of England in the first place.
