Non contact with partners

My partner has no contact at all with his ex. We have the kids 2 days a week and they spend the remainder with their mum. Has he has no contact she contacts me. Due to previous circumstances my partners solicitor has suggested I have no contact either seeing we know what days we have the children drop off times etc and arrangement with clothing , Do other mums think this is ok and would do the same

If it’s working then I wouldn’t go to NC but I would have a low tolerance for bullshit so if she started any crap then I’d go NC. But for the benefit of the kids I think having some healthy communication options is only going to be good.

Can you coordinate through the kids? And does that work? Personally, I would follow your solicitor’s advice. If nothing else, I wouldn’t personally be wanting to do the wife work of sorting someone’s kids out every week. But if you can’t go through the kids, then a neutral third party (your partner can communicate directly with them).

I wouldn't have contact. If it's through you, they're both making you do the admin he doesn't want to.

I'd let him and his ex sort out their communication issues themselves.

it depends why you have contact and why the solicitor doesn’t think you should

What are the circumstances? Can they not use a parenting app or a third party? Why are you having to be the go between?
