It's a long story but my DS do not want to see their biological father. We went through a long drawn out court case when they were younger which ended with an indirect contact order which their father never fulfilled anyway.
He is now back asking for contact again but the children have not changed their views and still do not want to see him. They went through a great deal of distress last time and it took them a long time to recover. They are now doing really well and are settled at school and really happy.
I have never slagged their father off and still encourage them to see him and assure them that nothing would ever change at home if they want to see him.
My question really is, if it goes back to court as he is threatening, are the children old enough to refuse to see him?
