Ex wife and children

Hi,
I would appreciate some help on what to do.

My good friend has been divorced for 2 months now. He and his ex wife have no arrangements regarding their children. Their 3 children live with the mum and the father pays the agreed maintenance.
The ex had always been difficult when it come to the children. Canceling the fathers plans and making it difficult for him to see them.
They don't have a good relationship I would say they strongly dislike each other.
Today the father has learnt that his ex told his children to not come back home if they go out with their father. The children are nursery and primary school ages.
The children were very distraught at the school pick up and so was the father seeing his children crying and in distress.
My question is what to do and who to contact to stop his ex from ruining the childrens relationship with the father and to keep the children as unharmed by all this mess as possible.

Thank you

If child contact wasn't agreed as part of the divorce he'll need to go back to court to apply for a CAO.

Surely, he needs to sort out contact. Why didn’t he do that as soon as he moved out? That would be the most important thing to me in a divorce. It seems like he didn’t really bother? And now he’s seeing the implications of not putting the kids first ahead of all the legal and financial stuff.
