Child arrangements order

[yummygummy1]

If father has been ordered to have supervised contact only, and then approaches children in the street to talk to them - what is the best course of action to take?

What were the circumstances? Was someone else present?

I would be inclined to see your solicitor. Ask them. I would also look closely at the wording of the order.

He has apparently moved to my area and saw our daughter going to school, went up to her and asked her a lot of questions. Daughter was a bit upset.
I don't have a solicitor, represented myself in court. Wording just says children live with me and father is to have contact once a month in a contact centre. There are also prohibited steps on him about not taking children from my care or school. I don't expect him to ignore our children if we see him, but a simple 'hello, look forward to seeing you again soon' would be ok.

I wouldnt be happy. Presumably contact centre supervised contact was ordered for a reason.
Did you have CAFCASS or Social Services involvement? If so I would consider approaching them for advice on how to proceed.
How old are your children?
Does the school know the situation? She could disclose in school and if you know dad has breached the order and not acted it might be an issue for you.

Does it stipulate contact only in the contact centre?

He should not be interrogating the children!

how sad that you and the children have gone through all you have for him to react this way

im afraid I have no experience but I suspect from reading on here you would have to go back and have the order changed in order to stipulate that he should not be approaching or interrogating them outwith his supervised contact time

Thank you all. Yes it stipulates supervised contact in a contact centre. School is aware of the situation.
I will reach out to Cafcass for advice.

The order is a legal document. I cannot see how CAfcass can enforce its operation. You need legal advice. You might need the order amended or something more forceful.

CAFCASS won’t be able to resolve this
yoi need to see a solicitor and get some advice regarding enforcement of the order and whether you can evidence his breach of it.

You could bring it back to court and apply for a prohibited steps order that he keeps away from your child at all times and makes no attempt to communicate with her save for during court ordered contact.
