Nightmare Ex men and women please help

[adele14]

Hello, looking for advice from both men and women if possible please.
My partners ex is stopping contact again!
He currently sees his daughter twice a week he's not allowed to take her away from her mothers house he has to sit in the house with her to spend time with her. She is alienating him as a parent. She has been promising him she will put him on the birth certificate since birth but it was just a false pretence. Her focus is on my partner not what's best for the child, we recently had a break from our relationship and since she's learned we are back together he now can't see his daughter again this is the second time when we first got together she did the same. He now wants to go to court for access but we visited a solicitor and she refuses mediation. She's using the poor child as a weapon and my partner is devastated. We have a child together and he's upset he won't have the same bond with theirs. Where do we go first to fight this horrible bitch!
Can they refuse him access if here's no good reason?
Sorry I'm furious 🙈

You go to court.

Go and see your solicitor again. As she has refused mediation you can take this to court.

Remember that contact (not access) is for his daughter's benefit, not his. Unless his ex can provide good reasons for blocking contact the courts will order some level of contact. If she refuses to comply with the court order you will then have to go back to court to apply for enforcement.

How old is the child?

How effective is enforcement? My Ex ignored cost orders during the divorce proceedings and contact orders afterwards. Her logic is that she will never be imprisoned as there would be nobody to look after the child. Basically she considers herself to be above the Law and has got away with it for several years.

Judges are becoming more willing to enforce contact orders. They have a number of means of doing so other than sending the recalcitrant parent to prison, but some parents are imprisoned for refusing contact and occasionally the courts will move the child to live with the other parent. However, it is still the case that enforcement can be a difficult, long drawn out process.

Parental alienation is a real issue these days and it is sad to see that so many children are being used as weapons by bitter parents. It is so important in situations like these is that the child is happy and well cared for and has a good stable relationship with both parents regardless of their age.

Unfortunately this is not going to be a quick process but the first thing that your partner needs to do is complete a C100 form and take his ex to court for a child contact order. Cafcass will then become involved and they will conduct appropriate safeguarding checks and general background checks on both parents and speak to both parents separately. Cafcass work in the best interests of the child and they do not give a hoot about the emotions or feelings of the parents. Everything must be child focused.

My DH was in your partner's shoes for longer than he should have been and we are currently going through the family courts due to parental alienation and the courts take a very dim view on it. Your partner needs to nip this in the bud as soon as possible.
