Hi there
If you’re going to instruct a solicitor, you can ask them to respond to her email. Otherwise, due to her threats to call police, it might be better not to contact her.
Mediation would be your first step, after you’ve discussed the issues with the mediator, they will contact your ex and ask her to attend, if she refuses, or mediation fails, the mediator will sign off the form to enable you to make an application to court.
It might help you to attend a Families Need Fathers meeting in your area, where you’ll get direct support from others in a similar situation. Here’s a link to their website where you’ll find details of meetings nationally, hopefully there will be one near you.
