breaking what court/judge ordered

morning

5 days after the court hearing my partners ex is already not doing what was ordered and we fear this will continue until back to court in early November. They also broke the previous order after mediation/hearing and for 9 weeks did nothing.

As my partner is representing himself, what is the best way to deal with it? does he just keep notes and wait till the next hearing or does he write to the court as he dis previously to acknowledge what they haven't done again? also left a message for the ex's solicitor who hasn't called back (like previously too!)

Any advice would be great

Many thanks

A summary of the order he's breaking would be useful.

Oh sorry my bad :)

It's really at present a general question, 10 weeks ago things were ordered witness statement referall to contact centre started an drug testing to be done, none of which were done.
At court last week the judge pushed that my partner have supervised contact at a soft play area supervised by his ex's sister until the place at contact centre ready then next hearing to move on to unsupervised once test proved her false allegations.
He also ordered that the sister was to text my partner by yesterday to provide her mobile number as she was the contact re contact arrangements which she didnt do.
I appreciate right now that will seem like a little issue but along with the fact the ex and sister a few hours after court were making threats on Facebook including the sister stating she will pull out as a 3rd party and there's nothing he can do about it were expecting no one to show up on Saturday and pre empting this to continue until the next hearing in november so just looking at how it should be dealt with by my partner if it does continue as expected....

Hope I've made sense lol

A letter to the judge together with a copy of relevant evidence and a request for an urgent hearing would seem to be in order.

I would push to get a place sorted at a contact centre as surely no court can force the sister to facilitate contact, unlike in the case of his ex where she would be expected to turn up. Who is it that is taking the drugs test & why?

smiler01 · 24/07/2012 20:07

My partner is taking the tests as she's made allegations of drug use (he doesn't take them!!) but my partner agreed to be tested so as to once and for all prove it's a lie.
Originally 10 weeks ago the tests were meant to have been started and application for contact centre but cos they didn't do anything until day before next hearing so for 9 weeks the judge wasn't prepared to wait another 10 weeks (estimated waiting time) for the place at contact centre and so ordered supervised contact until place ready. naively we thought they wouldn't carry on playing games and just let him see the kids as ordered!!!!

My DH did what Collaborate has suggested, he was back in court within a fortnight of the application being made. Good luck x
