When I initially split from my ex he was seeing her at least once a week for a few hours, she is 1 and the idea was to build contact as he wasn’t actively involved with parenting while we were together. Now this has gone down to eow sometimes more if ex mil is around. Anyone else experience this or something similar? And did it ever change.

He isnt interested. Make sure he is paying cms to reflect he does no parenting and focus on rebuilding your life.

Yep, don’t be surprised when he completely stops!

Yes!
We split 9 years ago. It went from 2 evenings in the week for tea and every other weekend (Fri to sun), to one day in the week and every other sunday (no over night contact). Now he is always cancelling those days. Fortunately my girls are not bothered my this and happy home with me. They're 12 and 14 now and dislike going there anyway. He isn't interested in taking them to their clubs (says no), or schooling, their interests.
It's more heart breaking for me. What they never had they can't miss.
