I will try to keep this short - have tried googling it but I can't make head nor tail.
I have recently been back to court (non parte) to ask a judge to stop a CAO so I wouldn't be in breach when I did not hand DS over to his father. I had to pay £155 for a C2 form.
The reason I had to stop the order is because of safeguarding issues. In January he admitted to smacking DS and using threatening and humiliating language towards him. He made undertakings and promised the court he would not do those 3 things.
Since then he has continued to smack DS and call him names / use humiliating language. DS has expressed that he doesn't want to see his father anymore.
Children Services are involved. The Judge granted the cessation of the CAO and ordered no contact between father and son for 2 weeks and until the CS made their report.
So...my question is...can I claim back the £155 from ex because he was essentially in breach of his undertakings and because of the nature of the problem (i.e. abuse)? And if so, how?
Really appreciate any advice
Thanks
