My ex is preventing contact =========================== Unfortunately, when a relationship breaks down, many parents face challenges in maintaining their relationship with their child. Our top family lawyers have years of experience helping parents in these circumstances. Our priority is to make the legal process as smooth as possible; to help you and your child move on and focus on the future. The primary consideration of the family court is the welfare of the child. When it comes to child contact, the court's initial presumption will be that it is in the child's best interests to have a relationship with both parents, unless the contrary can be shown. Where possible, parents are expected to agree child contact arrangements between themselves, prioritising the best interests of the child. However, if your ex is preventing you from seeing your child or making contact difficult, you can apply to the court for a child arrangements order. A child arrangements order sets out: - Where the child lives - How often the child spends time with each parent - How that time with the parent should look, e.g. should it be supervised or take place indirectly (e.g. via phone calls) Parents may attempt to prevent or limit contact between their child and the other parent, even with a child arrangements order in place. However, if the order is intentionally and frequently breached, you can apply to the court for enforcement.
