My ex won't let me have enough access to our children, what can I do?

Often, couples will try to make child arrangements work between themselves, without recourse to the courts. Sadly, this does not always happen successfully, with the resident parent preventing the children from seeing their other parent or limiting contact. If this has happened to you, Vardags can help.

As experienced family lawyers, Vardags can help you establish a regular system of contact with your children, either through negotiating with your ex-partner or by applying to the court.

In deciding how to manage child arrangements, the welfare of the child will be the paramount concern. The court understand that, generally speaking, it is in a child’s best interests to have a good quality relationship with both parents and will help you find a positive and sustainable way to achieve this.

If there is an order in place and your ex-partner is breaching it, it is a very serious matter. You can apply to the court to enforce contact and they might punish your ex-partner’s breach. The court can fine people, sentence them to community service, or even jail them for failing to abide by a contact order.

Whatever your situation, Vardags can help you preserve your relationship with your children and ensure you have an appropriate amount of contact.
