I have contact with my 6 year old daughter for 5 hours once a fortnight. This time hasn't progressed as i expected and the same is thought by my daughter through her own expression, without my asking or talking of the subject with her. I've tried discussing this with her mother but she shows no interest in lengthening the time we have together even though my daughter clearly wants this, as well as myself.
I know the obvious would be to go back to the courts or solicitors for this matter but i wondered if anyone could suggest other ways of getting this point across to my ex partner with the positive results me and my daughter would like.
Her mother just seems to be thinking of herself and not our childs wishes which is frustrating to say the least, as i don't want to push it and get negative reaction from her. I already walk on 'egg shells' so i don't rock the boat of my contact.
What should i do??
Hi Haddon 🙂
It might be a good idea to think about Mediation. Its the first step in the process and hopefully if sucessful will prevent the courts from being involved. Heres a link ~

I agree with NJ,
Try mediation first ask your ex to attend and see if you can progress and get more time.
If you aren't able to then court may be the only way forward, Have a read of the court guide at the top of the legal section.
