CAO in place but ds hasn't seen df in a month, can I tell cms

Hello
My ex took out a CaO 4 years ago for our ds.
Last month my ex verbally abused ds and said things about my parenting.
I have since stopped ds from seeing his father as it upset him and I am going to apply for a new court order this can take 6 months.

I went online to notify csa that shared care is now 0 but if my ex uploads the court order will that trump what I have told them?

Ds was upset his dad had called me names and disrespected me. Ds is nearly 14.

It’s worth telling CMS and seeing what happens. You can explain that DS is now 14 and due to abuse no longer wishes to see his father. If it ends in dispute but you can prove and win in the end it will be back dated to your initial claim.

The only evidence I have is 2 texts message saying ds won't be going them 2 weeks.

I'm sure as there's a cao in place that will trump whatever I say. As I'm theory I'm in breach of it by not sending him.

Fwiw . He had told ds he was acting a spoilt brat. I don't know the reason ds hasn't told me. Then said this is because your mother let's you get away with things. She's an absolute tw@t .
Da came home and told me and I've stopped him going.

You have stopped the contact though. Not him.

Because I felt that was best as ds was upset. Maybe I shouldn't of. But his dad hasn't fought. He's just said OK no problem each time we've text him. Rather than fight.
I have been advised by a solicitor to take it to court to reduce contact

My dsis said ill get no where as there is no safeguard issues except that 1 occasion and he's always stuck to the cao

Verbally abused????? Telling him he was a spoilt brat? Your Ex may have a point with your reaction.

Is that what the verbal abuse was and why you stopped contact? Was it a one off or foes he have form for badmouthing/name calling you?

I don't know if he has form ds has never said.
He used a few other words like bitch. So a one off but it scared ds at the time as his df was shouting.
