Holiday with papa

I have 2 children, my ex and I are completely no contact. He has blocked me on everything and I have no clue where he lives. He pays no child maintenance and to be quite honest I want nothing from him. My eldest daughter (15) has decided she wants no relationship with him and has told him as much. My youngest daughter is 10 and is now beginning to refuse to see him. I don’t like that they have no contact but ultimately I cannot and will not force them. Problem I have now is that my dad wants to take them on holiday (I’m unable to go as I can’t get the time off work) and the ex is refusing. He barely sees them, doesn’t pay a penny and now wants to stop them going on holiday. If he does this I fear it may be the final straw and they will both end up with no relationship with him. Again, this is not what I want. I have never tried to stop them seeing him but they both say that they don’t like the way he treats them when I’m not around. It’s gotten to the point where the youngest panics and hyperventilates if he TELLS her he’s coming to pick her up. What can I do in this situation? Denying them a holiday seems to be the last little bit of control he has but I just don’t know what to do. Anyone have any advice? He is on birth certificate so does have PR. HELP!!

You need to apply to family court.

I’ve never had to do this kind of thing before. My dad has taken them on holiday 5 or 6 times before and it’s never been an issue. What am I applying for?
