Hi,
Could get some advise on my rights to to me 3 children, aged 12, 9 and 6. i have an agreement from when i was divorced stating that i can see my children every Sunday between 10 am - 7 pm . This has been fine with ex - wife until recently when she said i could only see them till 6 pm. Her reason was they had to get up for school the next morning, I was amicable and agreed to time change.
Now she is telling me i can only see them every other Sunday, stating the reason that my 12 year old daughter's behaviour is not acceptable at home, with the arguing, bad language and general misbehaver, which is more so after seeing me, and is concerned what effects this will have on my other two daughter's. When i have my children ,they are reasonably well behaved apart from they odd [censored] for tat arguments that sisters seem to have, there is NO bad language or answering back.
as far as i am aware, my children like seeing me every Sunday and have not shown any reason not to, and on most occasions did not want to return home. this has all started since my ex wife had a new partner move in and asked her to marry him.
Is there any course of action i could take, as she has no regard towards the courts ruling to protecting or securing seeing my daughter's. i am worried her next step will be no visitation at all !!
sorry for going on ,but they are my life, and seeing them upset hurts me.
thanks for anything
Hi Gary, and welcome on here
When you say there's an agreement, was that an informal agreement or was it a contact order?

Hi, thanks for answering my post. The agreement was made when i went to court to settle the amount of the value of the house ex would receive and how much i would pay in child support , the visitation arrangement was part of this agreement and stamped by the court.
For the time being I'm going along with what she says, just to keep the peace and not upset my daughters any further. This is only until i find out if i can do anything !!
Thanks
I don't think the divorce courts create contact orders (I could be wrong though) but I'd say that it's certainly a good basis to go to mediation with, and if she won't attend, then to go to court for - take a look that the guide to representing yourself at the top of the legal section, it's a good place to start if you are thinking of going to court.
