Hello everyone,
I have been separated from my ex partner for 8 months now. He see's our two children aged 5 and 8 one night a weekend and for two hours every Tuesday. My issue is there is no contact between my ex partner and i at all. He picks them up by waiting outside, he does not talk to me. He has blocked my number so i have no way of contacting him either. We went to mediation where everything was his terms he picked the days and times and would not budge on anything. We initially had a third party (my cousin) who we would contact if there was every an emergency with the children but my ex partner started being abusive towards her so we had to end that contact. My children have very busy lives and sometimes he needs to know about events etc. but i have no way of letting him know. Also, if anything happens to the children in mine or his care he still refuses to contact me and i can't contact him. His parents don't want to know either so i cant contact them. He also does not allow my children to contact me whilst they are with him which i find upsetting as it confuses them. It's a controlling issue, he is a very controlling person and knows by him doing this it makes my life very difficult. He refuses more mediation. I dont know what to do..is he allowed to do this? Any help would be so much appreciated
