Not sure I have chosen the right section but am looking for some guidance.
My daughters (12 and 11) are saying they don't want to see their birth father on his monthly visits.
Now, although part of me was expecting this as he doesn't do anything to develop and nurture his relationship with them, doesn't see them more than 6 hours in a month -his choice- and tends (according to them) not to talk much to them on the occasions he sees them (tends to take them to the cinema or similar so there are limited conversations options). I am not sure what the legal position is on this.
My feeling is that, if they don't want to see him they don't have to but is there any legal stuff that complicates this? I don't want them to be forced to spend time with him when they don't want to, obviously.
Anybody got any experience of this?
I have encouraged them to try to talk to him but they don't feel comfortable doing that. I don't think I can 'get involved' in that (I know he would not appreciate that also)
Any info anyone?
