Enforcement order

1 reply

spaceyface89 · 11/05/2019 20:44

I've just been told my ex has applied to court again. Apparently it's an enforcement order although there's nothing to enforce, as all contact has been stuck to as provided for in the order.

I was offered a job earlier this week which is a big step up for me, and I'd like to move closer to it, which would be about 25 miles away from our home now. This would obviously affect the midweek overnights between DD and her dad which haven't come into force yet, but are set out in the existing order and will begin in September.

Does anyone know if I can use his court proceedings to float a variation given it's going to court anyway or if I have to apply for my own variation independently of the court proceedings he issued? Can be addressed together? I don't have a solicitor this time, so I'm hoping that if it's already going back to court via ex I can tack my variation onto the existing proceedings as I have very little money to throw at my own application. Thanks

Why would it affect the midweek overnights? 25 miles can’t be much more than half an hour away?
Presumably you’d need to move her school as well, so you’d need to apply for a Specific Issue Order rather than a variation assuming her father won’t agree to the change in school.
If you’re on a low income you may be eligible for a reduction in court fees.
