Dad's weekends

[LeCreuset]

Receiving no communication from children's father as to when/where picking them up. He leaves messages with them (this is not fair). Does anyone know of a professional or agency who can help me deal with this? My solicitor does not seem keen to assist but has sent a one liner email.

Contact book in their bag? So you can communicate

Or try mediation?

I would send him a letter explaining that contact details should be notified to you directly. If the solicitor has already said that to him, just keave ut.

If he doesn't tell you, he can't expect you to have everything ready/wait for him to show up.

The contact book is a great idea, if he doesn't want to talk but using the children as messengers is a definitive no no.

how old are the children ?

Children are 12yrs and 10yrs. Already gone down the letter/email route but still not communicating with me. One liner by solicitor had shortlived effect. Not sure about notebook idea??

Would having set times/locations for pick up/drop off remove the issue with the lack of communication?

Passing messages onto the children is not ideal, but there probably isn't much you can do other than what you already have, writing or having a solicitor write to him asking him not to and explaining why it isn't in the children's best interests. But then he could just ignore it.
