My former spouse unilaterally blocked my contact with my daughter following confirmation that she was not entitled to financial compensation due to the shared care arrangement that was established. Prior to this incident, my daughter and I maintained an exceptional relationship, and my daughter's relationship with my current partner was similarly positive until my former spouse terminated contact and significantly damaged this bond.
We have since attended family court proceedings, during which I faced numerous allegations. The court ultimately granted me one-on-one contact with my daughter, with the understanding that contact may be increased as we work toward rebuilding our relationship and as my daughter becomes ready to spend time at my residence.
I have complied with all court recommendations and have downloaded the prescribed communication application. However, my former spouse continues to obstruct my contact with my daughter, restricting our communications, controlling where I may take her, and has reportedly encouraged my daughter to lie to me . My daughter's demeanor has noticeably changed; she appears withdrawn, anxious about time spent with me, and concerned about inadvertently upsetting others. This situation is deeply troubling to me.
I am uncertain of my available options. I currently believe my former spouse will continue to prevent the rebuilding of my relationship with my daughter. I receive daily messages, and my former spouse frequently confiscates my daughter's phone, preventing our communication. While I cannot definitively prove this occurs, my daughter maintains consistent contact when she has access to her phone.
I am experiencing significant financial and emotional strain. I am seeking guidance on what actions I may take to hold my former spouse accountable for parental alienation, as this situation is causing me considerable distress.
