My Ex has taken me to court twice in two years to enforce our child arrangement order making false allegations.It is costly and distressing for me to respond to the wilful and fallacious lies. He has regular contact and holidays that has never been denied. He uses the court to abuse me emotionally and financially.
in the last application as the FDRH I asked the court to dismiss his application and provided evidence beyond civil standard that his accusations were false and vexatious. He said he'd filled out the wrong form he wanted a variation. He refused to withdraw the application. Proceeded with variation and Enforcement costing me £22,000 to respond to lengthy documents of false allegations. He again refused to withdraw his enforcment application. On the day of the hearing he withdrew his enforcement saying it was a mistake filling out the wrong form. At FRDH and all along I maintained he was deliberately making false accusations to cause harm and costs. And made it clear I would be applying for costs.
I applied for him to pay my full costs. Magistrates refused because they agreed it was a mistake....when all his statements and oral evidence said he wanted enforcement.
Has anybody had any experience of costs applications for a withdrawn application or appealing a costs judgment? I really need some help with this very distressing situation.
Also the order he drew up does not match what was agreed or ordered at court.
Prior to this hearing he had alternate weekends and one midweek from school to school. plus 11 weeks hols over two years. Lots of contact.
how do I rectify all this and stop him abusing me through the court
thanks
