I was hoping that somebody may be able to point us in the right direction until my DP can speak to his solicitor.
My DP and his ex have a 3 year old. She has previously stopped contact and he had to take her to court to regain access to his DD. He got a final order last year which she has ignored 8 times since then, including times while she was subject to a monitoring order (CAFCASS just asked her to stick to the order, no consequences). Last night she withheld access again with less than an hour's notice. DP is gearing up to return it to court for an enforcement order but is seeking advice on whether he could ask the court to change who his DD lives with at the same time. Recent evidence of low level neglect has also become apparent but he doesn't know if breaking the order 8 times, albeit resuming shortly after but never making up missing time, is enough to return it to court and what the threshold could be roughly for the court to consider changing who DSD lives with (the court have threatened ex with this once before). Any advice would be welcome to pass on to my very upset and worried DP. Thanks.
