Mate your an idiot and I will not bother replying to you again. The cases that I have provided a link for are real cases that have happened not the sort of cases that you dream happen and watch on hollyoaks or something. I do not mind debating with people but what I have said HAS happened

And yet based on the past 2 years from the link you provided, there is not one case that refers to a change of residency or punishment from the failure to comply to a contact order.


You may have spent £50,000 to get residency of your children, but that is completely different to obtaining a contact order, which the PWC can break for a myriad of reasons (child has a party to go to, child is not well, the car has broken down and they won't be home in time, they have a school/church activity, some other family event planned etc) that are entirely plausible to a court yet mean the NRP may rarely get to see their child with little or no recourse.


The OP wants to be able to see his children. Whether you like it or not, the best way for that to happen, whether he spends £'000s on a contact order or not, will be if he can find a way to get the relationship with his ex onto stable ground where they can at least communicate with each other.

I know someone that had to do unpaid work, 2 days a week for umpteen weeks, if you are already working then it does have a strong impact as he was SE, even if you were an employee, it would have to be an understanding employer to allow the time off, as one can be dismissed if they make themselves unavailable for work.

Yes, and the court would have assessed the impact that 2 days a week would have had on the children and decided that it was fair and not detrimental to their welfare. So again, not a punishment, more an inconvenience.

Bit of update I decided bite bullet with out going to solicitor and been nice a cooperative, one of the main issues I had a grudge on got sorted. But I had children for a week and I also I have them one weekend a month now and see them every other weekend by train which works out cheap. I can have them other weeks providing it half term. Still cant get her to meet me half way but working on it 240 mile round trip on a fri nite abit tidous but it good to have kids:)
