    If there is reason to believe that the PWC will default on the Court Order then apply in the first instance, the Courts are now moveing to this stand point, as I believe, they are getting miffed at the attitude of PWC and the CSA that think that they will have the last word! We have an inderpendent Judicary in this land for a reason, and they are standing their ground!

    The Judges have to have a say in teh Law, as it is them that enforce it!!!

    Been through it myself and have the contact order to prove it. It certainly removes the power they wield with regards to the blocking.

    Only instance where it has happened since gaining the order was actually by the ex mother-in -law. Fortunately I carry a copy of the order in my car at all times, and as she called the police as I would not leave, they duly arrived and advised her to hand over child under threat of arrest.

    Took a while but after having the order for about 4 years now we can be a bit flexible in how we use it. In reality it is now just the minimum contact allowance I have and can be pulled out if contact blocking resumes.

    Do the court thing, you will never regret it.

    P.A.S. = Parental alienation syndrome was used in an english court of law recently i cannot remember where but search, its only apparantly regonised in america as only americans are subjected, studip i know but it will cost the law establishment and they dont want too lose out to money. you could try this as a form of defence as it is very real (america understands it). the C.S.A. quango are an off shoot of government moneymaking procedures and care little for the welfare of children, which is self evident in there procedure of taking from disabled kids child tax credits to give to another family.

    good luck
  • My partner has 4 kids with his ex wife who he split up with over 2 years ago when they got divorced the only contact she would offer was a contact centre for 2 hours every other week but we live 130 miles away and the opening times where 10 -12noon he found this to upsetting so this did not happen. He had contact with his eldest daughter last year but then she sent vile emails and her birthday card back full of abuse so all contact was broken in december of last year contact started again from the request of the ex.
    He saw the children at her house and i was invited as well, she asked him for help with a tv aerial and we went again in January this time my daughter went as well and everything was going fine until my partner asked to speak to his ex with regards regular contact with the kids and the possibilty of using the disabled access car she has (one of the kids is both physically and mentally disabled). All he wanted was when the kids where with us use of her car (she has a new partner who has a car so it was not like she was being left with no transport).

    The ex got very angry and demanded he leave the house!!!!. I have now contacted her by phone and said we have discovered a mobility rental company so the car is no longer an issue but she has said that she went out of her way to allow him access and he has blown it. She will not answer his phone calls and the eldest daughter (16) will not answer her dad's texts.

    My partner has always paid his child maintenance (through CSA) and all he wants is to see his kids what should he do now. He cant get legal aid and his last solicitor caost £250 every time he went to see tham and we really cant afford that cost as he pays £288 pm child maintenance.

    Any help would be great

    Make the application yourself, you dont need a solicitor, go to the Court and ask for the form I think it is now Form C100
