A wee bit about myself :whistle:
I'm a 44 soon to be 45 😡 father of 4, 3 of which are over 18,
It is my youngest son that my ex wife is making things difficult in getting to spend time with him.
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Welcome Sparky.........becareful not to post al the details about your difficulties and real names on here with it being a public board, the members sections are a little more secure from "prying eyes".

we're a failry friendly bunch....and most of us are speaking from our own experiences and advice we've had or used over the years and battles with our ex's.

Hi and welcome.

How old is your youngest son?

It's probably worth starting a new thread in the legal eagle section, otherwise we can move this one.

Do you think that you are beyond thinking about any kind of mediation?

Hi Mario
Constantly at each others throats regardless how it starts out,
Honestly don't think it would make any difference in the long term.

It's probably still worth trying, if nothing else to show that you have tried before moving on to applying for a contact order.

Mediation can be very successful, ak57s son and his ex couldn't even be in the same room together, weren't communicating at all, and he hardly saw his child. Now after 5/6 sessions of Mediation they are talking and have agreed contact which has been written into a Defined Contact Order. Keep an open mind and give it a go, what have you got to lose? 🙂
