Sorry that this might sound stupid or petty but I know this site is great and the advise is helpful.
I have some concerns regarding my daughter.
My ex has been for the last 4 weeks been sending a note book she has requested I complete, saying what I do with my daughter, what she has to eat and her sleeps. I only have my daughter on a Sunday. I have never written in this note book.
My last posting I stated I had her at the Hospital, since then she has come to me with single line Scratches down her lower back and her arm on one weekend. The following weekend a scratch on the back of her ankle. These scratches look like someone has court her.
As much as two weeks ago my daughter was came with a pair of shoes that were size 4, I took her to Clarks and she was in a pair of 5 ½. I brought the new pair and kept her old ones. The last time I seen her she came in a pair of 4 sandals. Her toes were over the edge and in her bag was the new ones. I was asked to take them back and get a size smaller. These shoes were measured by a trained fitter, at her request.
I say no and she stops contact. This is getting petty. When my ex left the home she removed a laptop. I have asked for this back but she wont. I have already provided my ex with her personal stuff including cloths, shoes and basic stuff for her house. Now she wants the TV, hover, as well as her remaining items. I have said no to the TV and hover. But happy to return the other items when the laptop is returned. This exchange should have taken place last weekend but she refused to bring the laptop so I said no. This weekend she stops the contact. First I get an email she was sick Friday night and Saturday morning and has a cold, if she is better she will drop my daughter off at mine on Sunday. Then I get a email saying she has a temperature and will not be brining her. Finally Monday she has a sore [censored] and a cold. I did offer to have my daughter today (Tuesday) but this never happened.
I have asked my solicitor in the past to apply for a contact order but he is always reluctant. We are due back in court at the end of June.
Caffcass are doing a section 7 report and I feel I need to show them all the emails I have been sending my solicitor. Contact is not as it should be. Any advise?
Thanks in advance.
The question I would ask is why your solicitor is reluctant to go for a contact order - unless he/she has given you a good reason for not applying, I would consider getting a second opinion and possibly changing to one who is more willing to do so.
