We got divorced three years ago and I moved out. My eldest dd came to live with me and my new partner in April of this year. She was very unhappy at home and told the mediator and Court that she was unhappy living with ex wife and only seeing me every two weeks. Court gave shared residency which broke down because the ex piled on extreme pressure to dd telling her that she was disloyal and responsible for reduction in maintenance payments. Dd could not cope and came to live with us and my youngest aged 8 stayed with my ex. My ex then refused to have weekend contact with my dd unless my dd texted her st exactly 5pm on a Thursday. From thereonin dd and her mum have not had any communication now for 6 month. My options as far as I see them are 1. Text ex and tell her that her refusal to contact dd is upsetting her with dd consent 2. Text ex without telling dd 3.do nothing. This is causing tension in the house because my partner feels that I should be trying to push the contact and I don't know what is right
