Ex husband breaching court order again!

Cut a very long story short. Been divorced for 5 years ex husband didn't bother to see the children for a full year and then he decided to get a court order. Basically to exert his authority because he has never bothered to stick to it & he is always wanting to change it.

Both the children who are 10 and 7 absolutely hate going because he doesn't interact with them doesn't play with them and barely talks to them and just sits playing on the PlayStation.

Yet again he has sent a list of dates that he is unable to have the children. Bear in mind he only sees them once a fortnight as it is, although he should be having them for tea on the interim week but he's s never bothered to do this.

Basically I've had enough now as the kids are stressed out when they have to go & hate going and he's constantly changing the goalposts so there is zero consistency.

Can I go back to court with all this information and try to get something amended or even cancelled because it's not fair on the children that they are put through this at their age to A. do something they don't like doing and B. Not know what's happening from one weekend to the next

In very simple terms yes you can apply to the court to amend. I’d make sure you have as much supporting evidence as possible and keep it child focussed (your feelings are irrelevant as we all know). I don’t know whether you will be successful or not but the advice I had was there is always something you can do.
Good luck with whatever you decide
