DP didn't see his DD for a year, he got fed up of his ex messing him about and finally snapped and cut contact. He was on anti depressants etc. Not something he's proud of or I support but it happened and we are trying to move on.
Four months ago he re established contact and in those four months he's seen his DD a handful of times. His ex always has an excuse and he's only allowed to see he for one hour supervised by DD auntie and lots of other relatives who are round at the time.
He wants to see her consistently every week and take her out etc. ex says DD doesn't want that and he has to do what DD wants and go at her pace. But DD is manipulated by ex and surely too young (8 yo) to know what is best for her really?
What would a court think?
I think a court order would be the next step, to give consistency and stop this supervised nonsense.
What forms do we need? And what is the first steps?
