Mom not sticking to court order

[mom1983]

Posting on behalf of dp

It was court ordered that contact start this week but mom is at work and can't/won't commit to any times other than those she knows dp can't do. She says judge knew she was working and he has to fit around her schedule.

Order doesn't mention mothers working rota or fathers.

He was told by her sol that the times were set but order doesn't actually schedule any fixed times or days. Just duration of x

She is saying she is going to see her lawyer.
Where does dp stand? When can he take the matter back to court?

If she's working then what do you suggest she do?

He and I expect her to not be so difficult. For months she has be letting dp have contact on a Saturday now she's working Saturday and then told him the day after court?

He had offered a whole list of suggestions including ones when she definitely isn't at work - she's saying she can't see a solution? She now wants to see her lawyer to come up with a new schedule days after the judges made this one, that doesn't even have set times. It's as if she wants dp to give up and go away.

Well he needs to go back to his solicitor

If there is a court order, parents must to abide by it.

Get on to your solicitor.

Why can't DP do the times mother is suggesting? If there are no specified times in the order you're in a difficult place really.

Where are the kids when she is working ?

With her relatives.
Dp is working and shifts can't be swapped - he has tried.

Update - she is refusing to speak anymore other than via solicitors and 'my solicitor will be in touch with a schedule suitable for us'

so why cant he suggest he picks up dc from the relatives?
he can write back to her solicitor letter and suggest this .

better ask her to got o mediation appt.

He has suggested that, he also suggested meeting at his place of work, at hers at 7am (cause of work) and after work. He offered her Mom to do handovers, he offered to alternate days each week to suit her... Honestly he has offered about 12 options to her. She just doesn't want to comply.

He doesn't have a lawyer either btw.
