A few weeks ago my ex cut all access to my 3 year old daughter, stating that she seemed unsettled. I have had regular access for over a year and now have to attend mediation to try to sort access again. I've been informed that mediation will start in the new year. I'm am totally debased that I will not see my daughter over Xmas and her birthday. Is there anything at all I can do to force my ex to let me see my daughter over this period?
Short answer you'll get here is unfortunately not a lot you can do!
the only thing you can do is ask nicely to see your little one over the Xmas and birthdays to give the presents and see her.....but be careful how you come across....try not to be confrontational or agressive and demanding to see her.
i'm almost certain you'll have to [censored] foot around her until medation etc...
Its Xmas but the ex will see it as a way to inflict maximum hurt on you now!
stay strong and keep calm....don't give her any reason to make you out to be the b*stard she will try to make you out to be to everyone else!
Thank you for the reply. I have an appointment this afternoon with mediation by myself. My ex has stated she cannot attend until the new year. Even though I am attending mediation can I still send off the c100 form as no matter what happens in mediation I still want it stamped in court. A verbal agreement is just not enough for me because I know she will just go back on it whenever it suits her.
Hi, yes you can send it off, it takes about 5/8 weeks to get a hearing date, which is a quick 15 minute direction hearing, this is just to decided how to go forward, we have just had ours and it was advised by cafcass to go to mediation so thats what we are going to do . As for xmas im afraid its another time controlling women can really get to you. we saw my grandaughter on saturday and had to give her her presents as my son as already been told shes to busy doing family things to allow any contact.
I would email your ex and ask if you could drop the presents off or meet up to give the presents. good luck,
