I have a court order where I am the 100% sole carer of my 2 kids. For the last 10 years my ex has made 0 attempt to be in my kids lives. The court order has this as point 1. That I am sole carer. Point 2 says I should advise the mother of any major decisions concerning the kids with sub points stating I give her 7 days to respond. I advise my decision post her opinion and the last sub point says if she gives no response I am entitled to presume that she does not want to be involved and I can decide what to do.
A few point numbers later it talks about she spending time with the kids which are agreed upon by both of us in writing.
Now things where my question begins.
Does point 2. Precede point 4?
As 10 years later I have now received a letter from her lawyer saying she wants to see the kids and has planned X amount of days of activities with the lawyer referring to the court order point 4.
I will discuss this with my kids who are my teenagers, but can I go back to the lawyer and reply saying “pursuant to point 2, your client has made no attempt to respond to any issues regarding the kids and I have made the decision to not go forward with her planned visitation”? (Or something along those lines)
