My partner has just been to court because her ex wants custody of the children! An agreement was made that I cannot be around there children at all! This is apparently because of something that I done over 12 years ago. I was inprisoned in new York for 3 months for smuggling at the time a legal herb into new york which then they decided to classify as a drug. I spent my time and returned to England to find that the drug in which I transported is still legal here ( KHAT). I understand what I did was wrong on many levels!! I just need to know if this is a valid reason for the magistrates court to agree my partners ex husbands proposal? I would appreciate any feedback.

I have just got back from a family court case, I feel I have been unfairly cornered into accepting the terms of an order. can I cancel the order as I am the applicant? I am going to try and sort this out now without the court and with the respondent mother, is it possible to cancel the order without repercussions ?

I have a contact order to see my children each week and at each weekend.The order has worked , it has not been plain sailing but on my part , I have shown a level of flexibility to save for hardship.The order also leaves me with contact during the term school breaks , notably easter ,giving me contact time on wenesday and thursdays.however, my ex has decided to take a holiday with her new boyfriend , which is fine but it is an easter break and I have annual leave and have plans myself. There has been no communication - only her transmitting through the boys which in itself is emmotional and a burden. I have sent her an e-mail to explain that I have annual leave and do feel that any such change should be offerd in timely advance - and as such I have said no on this occassion.the ex is digging her heels and has breeched the order , leaving me as I feel helpless. what can I do?

Can anyone tell me why a mother has to pay travel expenses to contact centre under court order when her father contributes five pounds a week which was enforced by CSA. I now have to pay out 40 pounds a month on bus fares and take two buses whilst potty training my daughter! Had two accidents, two outfit changes before we got there. This seems so unfair that i have to pay out travel expenses to take her to see her dad whilst he gets away with paying five pounds a week. And to expect a mother who is not working, recieving benefits and gets no child support to do this. Surely this is so wrong. Anyone had a similar experience or know of anyone who can help? Any comments would be helpful. Thanx

HiI have a financial court order in place to sell my house. My ex and I are seperated now for over 2 years. I took her to court in October to try and get the house sold. Agreed on 75% (her) and 25% split. The house was as per the order to be marketed in January. January comes round and she plays games but we manage to put the house on the market for £60k more than the court order as I thought that would help her out and try our luck with the market as well. An offer was received of £45k more than the £580,000 house sale price in the consent order so she will get over £320,000 to walk away with. She is still not happy about this and dragging her heels saying she hasnt found anywhere to live. I know on top of this she can borrow up to £150,000 on her 16 hour a week salary. But, I know that she isnt even looking. I have my children every other weekend and live in a flat. Have just had another child and really need to move for the space. She says tough. What can I do I feel that I have not progreessed anything by taking her to court she is now going to say all the time that she hasnt found anywhere to live. I pay the mortgage on the property until sale. At wits end. Should I just take her back to court and if I do can she be ordered to pay the costs?Thanks

My x and I was both ordered to share mortgage payments until house was sold by the divorce court in September 2012.I had a heart attack in November 2012 so my son offered him £50,000 rather then having to move because of my health. He accepted our offer so I applied for a mortgage in December, his solicitor had to draw up a variation order which was not done until 4th January 2013, my conveysancing solicitor sent papers in January that they took several weeks to return and then he refused to make his half of January's mortgage payment completion was on 5th February, I had to make his last pyment when mortgage was paid off, I am now £350 short on paying my solicitor fees. I called his solicitor and she just said he was not gaining anything by making the mortgage payment. I can't afford another solicitor what can I do about the money he owes me. His payment was made for £50,000 I thought they should of deducted it from his money.

My girls are now 15 and 11 and I saw them regually for the first 5 years when I divorced their mother. Then in August 2011 their mother stopped me seeing them. I applied and paid for a contact order almost immediately and although my eldest daughter didn’t want to see me anymore my youngest daughter made it clear to her teacher and to CAFCASS that she missed me and wanted to continue seeing me. Despite my youngest daughter being upset at not seeing me it took 13 months to September 2012 before I got to see her again. Although it was against my ex’s wishes a court order stated for me to see my youngest daughter firstly for 2 hours every fortnight and then gradually progressing to 4 then 6 and finally to 8 hours by early 2013. It also stated for other contact that the parties agreed to and that there was no order for indirect contact, overnight, weekend or holiday contact as they have taken my youngest daughters wishes that contact progressed gradually at my youngest daughters pace. The reason for contacting you for advice is because my ex is only allowing the contact hours as stated and is not allowing contact to progress whatsoever as the order mentioned. For example I have emails from my ex instructing me NOT to phone my daughter over Christmas (or any other time) and after I emailed my daughter just ONCE to wish her a good Christmas my ex threatened me that she would stop contact in a heartbeat if I emailed her again. I asked to have my daughter slightly later on the 29th December and for less than an hour longer so that I could take her to the Pantomime but my ex told me I could not do this and only have her for the hours/time stated. I am also not allowed my daughters personal mobile phone number. My ex also insists that I inform her of anything I plan to do with my daughter and my ex dictates where I collect and drop her off. How can contact progress at my daughters pace when any progress is flatly denied by my ex? Is there anything I can do in relation to the order? Is there someone at the court that can get the order changed or enforced? Or do I have to go through the whole Court process again?

Hi could someone help, my brother lifted a prohibited steps order to allow his ex n child move to Scotland though a contact order was put in place an agreed my both parties with conditions that he was to have regular phone calls and a forwarding address.

Question.... I have a court order for my ex to call me every Monday night to set two days out the week to see our daughter. Since the writen order was placed he has failed to call once. Can I get into trouble if he doesnt follow the order? What should I do ?

Hi There myself and my ex husband have a shared residence order for our daughter.The court order states that we can change the arrangements as long as both of us are in agreement. 6 months ago my ex husband wrote to change the arrangements so that I had my daughter all week and he had her from fri night to sun morning.I agreed to that and we continued with those arrangements for 8 weeks. One night (4 months ago) she was dumped on the doorstep in floods of tears and has had no contact with him since and I have had nothing either. Last week he even dumped all her belongings (from his house) on his mother and fathers drive and told them he was disowning them for contacting me and still seeing her. She is so happy now and settled and doesnt want anything to do with her Dad and is quite adminent about that. Last night he left a message to say he would be collecting her from school on Monday as per the court order (original arrangements).She has been sick and now doesnt want to go to school on Monday. Is there anything I can do and can he force her against her will? I cannot afford to get a solicitor.

pls help - over the last 2 yrs i have become a bing drinker, getting myself into trouble with ss, so understandable they have their concerns with my ability to look after J (who is 5yrs old). my ex took me to court for a residency order - the court decided that it is best that for 6 months he lives with his dad for me to overcome my problems. i have contact rights but these seem to only be in place as and when it suits my ex. i had gone to pick my son up from school the other day with my mother after my ex had not shown up (he had told the school that it was me picking J up - this was not true), but the school said that my ex was now picking him up. i then received a call from ex to say that the school had said that i had been drinking THIS IS NOT TRUE AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THIS. since then i have been told by ex that i will not see J again, that we are going back to court and that i will never see J again. this is just one of many things that has happened since the order has been in place, i am sorting my problems but feel that my son is being used as a money making machine and is being hurt by what is going on. everyone just thinks that i have a problem with booze but forget that his father is violent and also spent 6 months in prison for an assult on another lady after we had spilt due to DV.
