Hi, little bit of advice if that’s ok?
Long story short split from my partner around 4 years ago have 3 children and a house together. We’ve never seen eye to eye and it’s been a constant battle for 4 years with her stopping me seeing the kids for weeks at a time.
Admittedly a few years ago I called her every name under the sun out of pure frustration that’s as far as it went.
We’ve not had any contact for 3 months as communicated via mum to sort child arrangements etc. im more fortunate than most as have them 2/3 nights a week but she has kicked off as I turned up at sports day a few weeks ago and she “doesn’t want to be in the same place as me”.
shes now written an “agreement” which details everything regarding the kids which is basically exactly what we had been doing but has added a “clause” that I’m not allowed to attend school events which objected to……so now it’s basically I concede or guess end up with a lengthy and costly court battle.
Just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences?
For the record as a heads up about my character I’m a chartered accountant and “our” eldest isn’t biologically mine and I pay maintenance for her…I met her when she was 2 and her dad is nowhere to be seen so she is basically my daughter and wouldn’t have it any other way, it’s more the principal I guess.
And another heads up about the person I’m dealing with….i pay maintenance every month on time, go splits on school uniform and clubs etc and am still paying off furniture which is in my name…if a school trip cost £5 she would ask for half without hesitation….oh and she uses my Netflix and Disney plus haha
42 year old lad sat thinking he can’t be shit on anymore by the same person

I am assuming you don't have a legal access agreement in place already? If not, I would get legal advice to be honest, solicitors will suggest mediation first to avoid battling it out in court. Mediation will provide a written agreement which can they be taken through courts should she continue to prevent you seeing the children.
