Not sure which thread to put this in so posting in here for traffic.
Myself and dp split up around 8 months ago, when we first split I wanted him back, it didn't work that way so I moved on with my life. He had contact with dd every week (once a week overnight) to give you an insight, he has never been a proper dad to dd, only an existence in the background but I fought for so long to keep our family together.
Once a week moved to once every fortnight as he "needed his time off work". He then told me he was moving house, I asked for his new address (I've had his address since we split & never went near his house etc), he told me I wasn't getting it, I told him I would like to know where dd is when he has her, especially incase of an emergency. Was told no I wasn't getting it, I told him until I knew where dd would be then there would be no overnight contact. He said "ok" no fight no nothing!
Turned out he hadn't even moved house so could have had dd that weekend.
We spoke again & I tried to reason with him for dd sake, said dd was starting to get distant from him etc this was his chance to fix it, we came to agreement he would make more of an effort, phoning her etc, coming & taking her out for a few hours etc to build back up the relationship. This was 5 weeks ago, he has seen her once for 40 mins. He doesn't phone her, text, nothing. He has no interest & it's breaking my heart.
There physically is nothing more I can do to make him spend time with her, I have literally tried and exhausted every Avenue (too much to type but there's nothing I haven't tried). Even went to a lawyer to get set days & times etc drawn up. He still didn't stuck to it.
My dd has started asking when she will see her df, all I can say is you have to speak y
