My brother took his ex to court as she was being unreasonable about contact.
All well.. In family court she was obnoxious and the judge ended up giving my brother more contact than he originally requested...
His ex a month later accused my brother of assault. He was found by guilty due to hard evidence.
The judge in criminal court said he could see that the fabricated allegations were nothing but malicious and her was of trying to get one up in him or to remove some of his contact. The judge also said have no contact whatsoever with the ex under any circumstances, In event of emergency go via the GParents. Bro now also pays a service to collect and return dcs as suggested by the judge for his own safety so to speak as the false allegations lost him his job. Luckily he's found another but doesn't want any hassle

All is now settled.

However when brother has his dcs for half the holidays the cao states they are to call their mum every other day for the duration they are with him.

With that said this would now open him up to being accused of xyz if any call is made. As she's quite ' something' so wouldn't out anything past her

If he wrote to the family court would they remove that part going by what the crimal judge said.? He could also give them the case number if they wanted to checj the recordings of what was advised?

For the record all 3 dcs rarely want to call their mum and they never say they miss her. They are 6, 7 and 9

Why would it open him up to accusations? 9 year old is surely capable of phoning their mum by themselves?

He'd have to go back to court to have clause removed though.

There are apps you can get to record phone calls if that would reassure him

He was just going by what the judge said. He said the judge emphasised ' no contact whatsoever.' as he couldn't belive the tripe that came out of her mouth..
But ill tell him the other option is to record calls and to look into the apps may be easier for the kids and less of a change.
He would have no issue in returning to court if needed though.
He said he's going to contact his solicitor today for advise anyway so will go from there.
