Any way to get a family court order cancelled?

I put in the court order because my ex wasn't allowing my teenage sons to spend time at my house (he's very controlling) and he's started to make claims against me and my family that aren't true. Anyway they're not really bothered about hanging out with me as much now so I feel as though it's a waste of time. They have totally turned towards their dad as the main parent.

I don't know if I can handle this anymore they will be able to come see me where and whenever they like in like 1)2 years. So I don't see the point in the court order now. Plus their dad has been making money claims and all sorts. Even making jokes about me to them.

Advice please. If I have to go through with court I certainly will.

Are you saying that you have a court order that gives you contact but you no longer want that?

AnneValentine · 04/01/2024 18:17

You don’t want contact anymore?

Fiddlerdragon · 04/01/2024 18:18

If the contact has changed with your agreement then you don’t need to do anything

Ofcourse i want contact but they're getting older now and I don't see how I'm going to win. He accused me of self harming Infront of the children but I didn't. My GP is writing a letter regarding my mental health as asked by the court. I asked her to put that it's under control now which it is and I never thought I had told the GP anything about self harming as I don't remember and apparently I scratched my upper arm but not deeply just like I had an itch.
My ex is going to love that :-/ I really feel like giving up

If I understand correctly, you have an order for contact but it isn't happening. If you don't want to ask the court to enforce the order, you don't need to do anything. There is no need to have it cancelled.

I'm sorry you're going through this.
My advice would be go live your best life first you.
Always leave the door open for your sons, and in time I'm sure they will form relationships with you in the future.

I read that OP is in the middle of existing proceedings. It's not uncommon for sucha pplications to be issued with older children, only to find that they tell cafcass that they are against increasing contact with the applicant parent.

Simply tell the court that you respect the stated wishes of the children and regrettably and with a heavy heart do not intend to proceed further with your application. See if the judge will grant withdrawl without the need for a hearing.

Thanks I'm suffering everyday with headache and nausea because of this stress. He's also taking me to court to claim money back for a car he offered to buy me and never asked for money back but he's claiming he did.
He has no proof but I just have a feeling with my luck I'm going to be stuck paying it back when I don't owe anything.

I feel like giving up. I just want it all to go away and just get better. It's selfish but I just want to think about me and my health and mental health

Unless he has anything in writing from you or texts from you, agreeing to pay half of the car then I doubt he'll succeed
